Hope Island

Trip

Sea Kayak - Hope Island

Early Easter egg hunt on hope island. Meet at Arcadia boat launch at 10 am , launch at 10:30 and paddle to hope island for hike, lunch and adult type Easter egg hunt.

  • Sea Kayak II
  • Easy
  • Mileage: 5.0 nm
  • Pace: Easy

meet at Arcadia launch site at 10 am on Saturday morning. Launch around 10:30. Paddle to Hope Island where we will take an easy hike around the island, have lunch and then hold an Easter egg hunt in the orchard before returning to Arcadia.

This is intended to be a very kick back paddle with the intention of enjoying the spring weather and new growth on Hope. If the weather is cold and wet we will cancel.

please bring the twenty paddling essentials, good walking shoes for the hike, lunch and enough goodies to fill 6 to 8 plastic Easter eggs. Leader will bring the plastic eggs and we can fill them once we reach the island.  Jelly beans, chocolate eggs and marshmallow chicks are always welcome but don't be afraid to get creative and include small kayaking items (whistle, Chapstick etc) or poems and quotes. Whoever finds the most eggs wins a prize.

questions/ comments contact the leader at 360 915 2446 or andyhix@hotmail.com
