Meet at 9am at Freshwater Bay State Park boat ramp. Expect to have shore talk at 9:45am. My cell phone number is 360-710-0616.
We plan to launch from FW Bay, and only go part way to Crescent, have lunch, then turn back. This avoids a potential surf landing at Crescent Bay.
Camping available at nearby Crescent Bay area at either Salt Creek State Park or private campground adjacent.
