  • Road suitable for all vehicles

  • Cloudy with 10-15 k winds.  Threat of rain, but no actual rain until we were packed up.

Great company and great fun learning to deal with waves.     Free parking at Snee-Oosh (no restrooms).  Beautiful rest areas on Hope and Skaggit Islands.  Spent some time working on ferrying angles while crossing from island to island.  Teresa and John did a great job, keeping us safe and shepherding when we got too spread out.

Helpful gear would have been a neoprene hoodie.  Never actually capsized, but the threat was real.  And regardless would have kept my noggin warm.

Don't have a whole lot of pictures (did I mention it was windy?)  So if you're reading this and were on the trip, I would love to see some.
