Meet at Seafarers Memorial Park in Anacortes. Launch at 9:15 so arrive at whatever time you need to be ready to launch at that time.
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: Relatively easy trip but challenging for beginners
- Wind: High wind will cause us to move the trip to another location.
- Waves: Any more than 1-2 foot waves will cause us to relocate the trip.
- Route: Leaving Anacortes, visiting Saddlebag Island and potentially Huckleberry Island, Dot Island and Hat Island
- Distance: Approximately 9 nm
- Pace: No one left behind! Pace about 2 knots.
