Tacoma Group Student Paddle.

We’ll paddle to Keyport which has toilets and snacks available.

For those of you renting gear: the boat rental package includes boat/paddle/paddle float/PFD. The dry suit package includes suit/booties. You will need to arrange this with the OOC  (360) 297-4659 AT LEAST seven days ahead of time. Ask to speak with Forrest or Drew, and make sure they know you are with the Tacoma Mountaineers to obtain a discount. If you want a neoprene hood (we will be doing rescues) and gloves, you need to purchase those ahead of time. You can order on-line from OOC through their e-commerce site https://kayakproshop.com/ .

9:15am at Oyster Plant Park. The address for your GPS or mapping program is 17791 Fjord Dr NE, Poulsbo, WA 98370 (which is for the marina next door). Oyster Plant Park is directly adjacent on the north side.

Rental boats & gear will be arriving at 9:30am. Parking at OPP is very limited, so please have your gear in bags you can drop off, work out of with your car moved offsite, and pack away in your boat.

You will need to bring a sponge to clean out the boat once we are back.
