We will paddle one way, from Oyster Bay to Arcadia boat ramp.   We will meet at Kennedy Creek between 8:45 and 9:00, then set up car shuttle.   Further details about the plan will be communicated with participants.

High tide is about 16 ft at launch time so we will make minimal impact while launching.    It should be a beautiful paddle.   Weather forecast will be monitored and the plan adjusted if necessary.

This paddle is open to covid vaccinated individuals only.
