I expect this sea kayak trip to have this difficulty and plan to paddle in up to these conditions (view the sea kayak difficulties definitions on our Activity Types, Difficulties & Prerequisites page):
- Difficulty: II
- Distance: 10 nm
- Pace: moderate 2.5-3.0 nm/hr
Arrive at 9:00 am for a 10:00 am launch. Monroe Landing address is 512 Scenic Heights Rd., Oak Harbor. Parking is limited; we may need to move a car or two before launching. We will explore Penn Cove and arrive in Coupeville for lunch around noon. Bring a lunch or plan to eat at one of the local restaurants in town. Be sure to pack clothes and shoes in your kayak, so that we can comfortably explore Coupeville. We will visit the skeleton of the gray whale in the Coupeville Wharf before paddling east along the shore to Snatelum Point. Our day will conclude around 4:00 pm.
