Meeting place: Meet at Seafarers' Memorial Park in Anacortes at 9am for a 10am start.   We will have a briefing on the shore which will take about 15 minutes.  If it takes you personally longer that 45 minutes to  prepare for launch then arrive sooner. 

 

 

 We may see some wave action so I would like you to be comfortable with some waves before you choose this paddle. On hot days Lake Washington has good wave action at Concrete Beach late afternoon to get some experience under your belt.
