The plan is for a fairly relaxed paddle from Titlow Beach, over to the Fox Island fishing pier, south around the Toliva Shoal marker, then over to Chambers Bay beach for lunch. We'll return to Titlow on a light ebb current.

Expected conditions are for minimal wind, and if wind speed is outside the above limits, the plan will be revised or canceled depending on the group's interests.
