Sea Kayak - Kingston, Northern Bainbridge Island & Liberty Bay

Meet at the Port of Brownsville.  Be ready to launch at 9:00 a.m.  There will be a short pre-launch gathering at 8:45 a.m.

We will launch from the beach to the left of the boat ramp and marina dock.  I recommend parking  along Ogle Road NE or the large parking lot across the street and wheeling your kayak to the beach.  I believe the parking if free.  I will have two sets of wheels  to share.   The boat ramp will most likely be very busy with power boats  on a Sunday morning.   

There are restrooms at the marina.

Read carefully, there is a long lay-over at Fay Bainbridge park waiting for the currents to shift.

We will paddle north from the launch point and head into Agate passage with about a 2 kt ebb current.  I expect to arrive at Fay Bainbridge park around 11:30 a.m. 

I recommend bringing something to wear other than your dry suit to keep warm and dry or to enjoy the sun.  We will be at the park for 2 1/2 hours.  Bring lunch, a book, binoculars,  a beach towel or anything you might need to entertain yourself.   If the weather is really lousy, I will cancel.  If the weather is good, it should be a great day at the beach.

On our return, the flood current in Agate passage is predicted to be 4.0 to 4.2 kts.  With the current assist, I expect to be back at the launch point around 4:30 p.m.

Dry suits required for the paddle.
