You must have kayak camping experience and be able to paddle over 3 knots with a loaded boat for 15 nm both days.  Experience in Deception Pass or equivalent conditions is required.  We will be going through Canoe Pass around slack but paddlers should be prepared for some current with potentially rough conditions if not.   Drysuits are required plus helmets and gloves if exploring caves.  Parking is free but camping fees will apply. 

TBA with leader's permission
