Bring wheels for the portage.

We will paddle across to Maury Island and then north up Quartermaster Harbor before the shortportage across to the north side of the island. We'll then paddle out to Point Robinson and down the east side of the island. 

Expect to return to the launch by about 4-4:30pm

Meet at Dash Point County Park.

Be ready to be on the water by 9:15am. After a quick beach discussion, we will launch at 9:30am.

Although I have not launched here before, Park information indicates that there are restrooms available.

Parking appears to be free.
