We will need to arrange a shuttle before the paddle.  We will ride the dying ebb and approach the bridge at slack with little or no currents.  Students will have a chance to spend time practicing boat handling skills, working with the changing currents and recoveries as time allows.  We will also make side trips to Chambers Creek and Day Island Marina before proceeding on to the take out at Titlow Beach.

TBA with leader permission.
