Our Launch destination is from Mystery Bay State Park, we should allow ample time for pre-shuttle preparation. I.e. dropping off your kayak at Mystery Bay, driving your car over to East Beach Park, .75 mile away and all piling into one or two cars to go back to mystery Bay. After we arrive back at Mystery bay.  Be prepared for short pre-launch talk and planned departure time of 9:00am

The park has very nice restrooms here.

Discovery pass needed

Please dress in proper immersion wear.

This in my interpretation is if it’s less than 67° outside air temperature, I expect you to wear a dry suit. If it’s higher than that, you’re free to wear a wetsuit it’s up to you.

 Bring these if you own them :

  • tow belt,
  • VHF radio,
  • lunch,
  • snacks
  • something hot to drink.

This paddle, is one of the trips that once it’s complete is part of one of the paddle pens I think Seattle offers.
