Meet (arrive) at the Chico Boat Ramp,  4530 NW Meredith St, Bremerton  at 12:30pm.  If coming from either the north or south Hwy 3, get off at Chico exit. Drive north 1/2 mile until you see M&T Coffee on the west side of the street. Turn E. onto Meredith St.

No restrooms at the launch although is a semi-discrete place. Best to use restroom on the way there. Lunch will be at a beach 2nm away, where the restroom is up a somewhat challenging start to a trail so most of us use the beach.

If the temperature is over 80 deg, i may relax the dry suit requirement upon request.

Vaccinated individuals only, please.

Short trip around part of Dyes Inlet, with an intent of practicing our maneuvering strokes. Objective will be to make use of all buoys along the way. Minimal coaching will be provided upon request.
