This will likely be a casual, mild-weather paddle, but if the wind speed is higher than expected, there could be significant wind waves due to the long fetch along this route. The route and plan will be updated prior to the trip date depending on weather conditions.

Immersion wear required. If you're planning to wear something other than a drysuit, please confirm with the trip leader first.

COVID vaccination required.

Arrive at Seahurst Park in Burien with enough time to launch at 11am
