Meet at Utsalady Boat ramp at 10am so we can make a timely launch about half an hour later. If you need more time to get your kit ready for launch, please plan on arriving sooner than 10am.
The boat ramp is located to the EAST side of Utsalady Point, in the community of the same name. For navigation purposes, the closest address is 2998 Utsalady Pt. Rd., Camano Island, WA. Just follow the road down to the water to find the boat ramp area. There is no fee for parking unless you bring a boat trailer.
We’ll head east with the incoming tide and stop at English Boom for lunch. With any luck we’ll have some nice views of Mount Baker and the islands surrounding Skagit Bay.
Participants are responsible for bringing their own boats, gear, water, and food.
