Open Water Session - Port Gamble Bay

We’ll meet at Port Gamble Bay 10:00am where we’ll separate into three 13 person groups.  Should your leaders decide to go a different route for your paddle that’s ok to.

Paddle Completion Sheet:
For the purpose we will be launching from Port Gamble Bay entrance at approximately 11 AM and we will proceed to cross the water there to the East shoreline, and we will hand rail the shoreline until reaching Foulweather Bluff Preserve, it’s a huge beach and park. We’ll have lunch there and return after lunch. We’ll do our required rescues based on paddlers preferences before or after that time at which after that’s done, we will return the way we came.

You should plan to wear proper immersion clothing:

If you are a student, that means you wear a dry suit.

Also, bring if you own them a tow belt

VHF radio

Be sure to pack a lunch, & snacks plus something hot to drink.

Gatorade or that type of electrolyte is encouraged. Hammer’s Fizz or Heed are good electrolyte sources.

Bring two or thee containers bottled water(staying hydrated is important).

You can put your plastic water bottles under your deck lines or in the day hatch. If you have a backpack type water reservoir, those are better than bottles but you’ll need to drink to stay hydrated.

Lets expect to have lots of fun.

Maybe we’ll see eagles, whales, seals, sea lions, raccoons, coyotes, etc. One never knows what you will see on these paddles.
