We will MEET at 9 am at the far end of  Southeast Sebring Drive just north of the Southworth Ferry dock.  We will unload boats and gear and then park in the ferry parking lot.   There is a FEE to park in the ferry lot.  We will LAUNCH at 10 AM.

Description: We will launch from the beach next to Southworth Ferry and paddle across Colvos Passage, along the north shore of Vashon Island and then on to the south end of Lincoln Park.  After a rest and lunch or a snack, we will retrace our route back to Southworth.    There are restroom facilities at the ferry parking lot and at Lincoln Park.  This is an open water crossing with no beach access along the route.  We will be crossing shipping lanes and will need to pay close attention to staying together as a group.  Dry suits are required for this paddle.
