Sea Kayak - Freshwater Bay to Angeles Point

Launch from Freshwater Bay and paddle to the Elwha River delta, with goal, depending on sea state, of lunch at river mouth or Angeles Pt and perhaps some on-foot exploration of delta. If you haven't seen what has been created since the removal of the Elwha dams, you're in for a treat.
