This is a long day paddle for the purpose of training and conditioning.  We will paddle at a steady medium pace (3.5 to 3.8 knots).  We'll take several breaks through out the day for rest, lunch, and check out some of the parks.  

If wind and waves would add too much effort to this paddle we will shift to a shorter destination, likely Blake Island.  

 

Meet at the small park just north of City of Des Moines Marina.  Park address is 22047 Cliff Ave S, Des Moines, WA 98198.

Be ready for a shore talk at 7:30am.  Launch by 8am.
