Sea Kayak - Washington Park to Friday Harbor

We will launch early to catch the booming morning tide ebbing out Rosario Straight.  Probably best to plan to stay in Anacortes the night before.

• 5:30am - Meet, prepare boats, and shuttle cars to the Ferry parking
• 7:00am - Launch
• Early - mid afternoon - Arrive Friday Harbor
• Late afternoon ferry back to Anacortes.

Meeting time might be revised to 5:00am.

Meeting place is the small parking lot right next to the Washington Park boat ramp.  

We will shuttle one car to the ferry terminal and use that to pick up other cars.

We will paddle from Washington Park, ride 3.3 knot current out Rosario Straight, run through Cattle Pass and up to Friday Harbor.  Distance is 22 nm.  Actual distance paddled will be less due to currents but expect a long day of steady paddling. 

Campsites in Washington Park can be reserved on-line for $20.

If you have wheels that fit in your hatches do bring them.  If you have to carry them on deck we will assess if that may hinder rescues.  I don't have wheels and plan to hand carry hopefully with help.
