I‘m under the weather and can‘t paddle on Sunday.
I will pick a Class II or II+ run depending on water level
Fox Island, WA

If you‘re in/near Gig Harbor you‘ll enjoy this little play-spot of mine. Depending on interest we can paddle to the ‘marina‘ in Cedrona Cove and back. Or if you‘re more adventurous tide under the bridge makes for great ferrying / eddy turn practice. Or maybe a little of both. A spin around tanglewood island is also easy and fun... Low tide is 10:51am so let‘s meet at the Fox Island bridge at 10am or so / paddle for a few hours? I know the good lunch spots in Gig Harbor for post-paddle appetites too.
Howard Miller Steelhead Park
This is our annual Eagle Float from Marblemount to Rockport on the Skagit River. We typically see 50-150 eagles and if the weather is clear, great views of the North Cascade Mountains to the east. After the float, we usually stop at the Rhodes River Ranch in Oso or a restaurant in Burlington for food and drinks.
While there is no real whitewater on this stretch of river there is a strong current, some eddy lines to cross, and some maneuvering around wood and rocks in the river. Sometimes wind is an issue. It is usually very cold. Paddlers should dress for immersion and have flotation in their boats. Suitable for canoes, sea kayaks, rafts, some inflatables.
We will meet at the take out: Howard Miller Steelhead Park. From there we will consolidate boats to reduce the number of vehicles at the put-in and eliminate a pre-trip shuttle. Any vehicles left there will need to pay a $5 parking fee. At the Marblemount boat launch, you‘ll need a Discover Pass. We will run a shuttle after the trip.
We will paddle a Class II or II+ secion of river in the Puget Sound region. Destination will be determined based on water levels, weather and group strength.
