We will meet Sunday at the Luhr Beach launch around noon. Carpooling is encouraged as the launch may be crowded.

I expect this sea kayak trip to have this difficulty and these conditions.  View the sea kayak difficulties definitions on the Activity Types page.

  • Difficulty: SKII
  • Wind: variable, check weather report
  • Waves: variable
  • Route: on the delta and in McCallister Creek's mouth
  • Distance: 8 nm
  • Pace: easy

We'll paddle at first where the tide allows, likely up McCallister Creek, then across the Delta as the tide floods
