Bowman Bay boat launch ready to paddle at 8 AM.
One day of on-water and on-beach instruction regarding incident management and prevention. Clinic will cover multiple self and assisted re-entries, use of short and long tow systems, and incident scenarios. This is a very full day of events. You will be in the water a lot. I recommend students take the currents clinic offered in deception pass the day before this clinic, and they are intended to be done as a unit, but this may be done as a "stand-alone" class.
