Gig Harbor to Pt Defiance, if there are waves and current. We’ll have an opportunity to play. As the current builds before moving on to Owen Beach. For a short break then crossing over to Point Delco. Then back to Gig Harbor, and Tides Tavern. ( For mid-afternoon lunch) Once we’re back on water we could make a pleasant tour through the boats and piers on our way back to Eddon Boat Park.
