Sea Kayak - Hammersley Inlet

We will plan to catch the end of the am Ebb at Walker Park and ride to Hope island, hoping to catch the Squaxin reef at low point. Then we'll catch the flood back to Walker Park. This can be windy and if there is wind one should plan to do a little work getting back to Walker Park.
