Sea Kayak - Mercer Island

Paddle around Mercer Island. Enjoy the fall foliage, or lack thereof, and, hopefully, not too many speed boats. Go home shopping.

Besides the Sea Kayak and Mountaineer essentials, please ensure you adequate clothing, food, and water for the day.  Should be back by 2 pm.  We'll stop 2, maybe 3 times, depending on group needs.  

Please have a face mask that can be easily donned if near someone e.g. when moving gear to or from a vehicle or during a break.  No need to wear it while paddling since we'll be social distancing.  

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns:  206-850-3993.

We'll meet at Enatai Beach Park (Coordinates  47.579142, -122.196836) at 8:00 am.  Launch, say, around 9 am.
