At 1200 we'll be having one of the lowest tides of the year. We'll launch from Arcadia at 1000 and make a spin through Hamersly Inlet and check out the currents and make our way over to Hope Island. After a break we will then check out the shoal that's just south of Squaxin Island. This is going to be one of the lowest tides at -4 ft so it should be a great chance to view the different Sea life. We will have lunch on Hope Island then make our way back to Arcadia. 

We'll meet at the Arcadia boat launch at 0900 and be ready to launch at 1000.
