Sea Kayak - Indian Island Circumnavigation

Assuming no significant deterioration in the weather, the plan is to meet at 10:00 am at the boat ramp in Port Hadlock. This should allow plenty of time to get boats ready for a timely launch one hour later. If you‘d like more time to prepare, please plan on arriving before 10 am.  

Our total trip distance will be around 12 nautical miles with three breaks and about an 800 foot portage across the isthmus between Indian and Marrowstone Islands.  During the final leg we’ll have about a 2.5 knot current assist as we ride the ebb up the Port Townsend Canal.  If all goes as planned, we’re likely to be back at Port Hadlock by 6:30pm.

I’ll post a trip update by 7:00 pm Friday, so please watch for it.  

In the meantime, here are links to the point forecast for the area: https://marine.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-122.76456&lat=48.07332#.W2vMMBplCfA  and the greater zone forecast: https://marine.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=PZZ134#.W3rdjBplCfA

Please be aware this paddle includes a short hand carry portage across the isthmus between Indian and Marrowstone Islands.

As with standard Mountaineers Sea Kayaking activities, participants are responsible for making arrangements for their boats, gear, food, and water.
