FLOW - Fun and Learning on the Water - Golden Gardens

Meet at Golden Gardens at 1pm to organize and launch.

Meeting location is parking at the southern end of the beach, nearest to Shilshole. 

West Point provides a great venue for gaining experience in strong southern winds.  We can approach from the north with protection from the bluffs of Discovery Park.  At west point we can poke out into the winds and waves and then tuck back into protection on the north side of this point.  

This Friday afternoon winds are forecast to be 15kt with gusts to 28kt.  Perfect for expanding our skill set.

We will meet at 1pm.  Get our boats launched, paddle through Shilshole and along Discover to West Point.  There we will play for a while.  Hopefully, return will be a downwind run from West point back to Golden Gardens

Participants should have experience in wind and waves.  This is not intended as a beginner's clinic but is the next step to develop skill and experience.

You will do best in a shorter boat.  15ft or less is idea.  Boats over 16ft can be difficult.  When you ask for permission, tell me what boat (and length) you plan to paddle.

If you do have some foundation paddling in rough water (wind, currents, surf, etc) and want to gain further experience, please come join me!

(There is another opportunity on Sunday but at present some models show wind in the morning and others show wind in the afternoon.  I don't know when to schedule!)
