This trip is perfect for your first attempt at 14 nm.  We will spend time in currents and check out play spots for those who would like to  explore them. Drysuit OR wetsuit/paddle jacket required (note: rash guard is not a substitute for a wetsuit) and you must provide your own boat.  Wheels are recommended but not required.
