Join me for a weekday paddle to Possession point. We will launch from Edgewater Beach Park and paddle across to Whidbey Island then south along the coast for a lunch break at Possession Point State Park.  We'll return by a similar route.  This trip includes an open water crossing of about 2 nm and significant fetch. If we're lucky, maybe we'll see some gray whales!

Meet at Edgewater Beach Park in Mukilteo.  Please arrive so you are ready to launch by 9 am.
