Launching from the small gravel beach at Telegraph Bay, which can be slippery with seaweed at low tide, we will travel north about 3 nm, or perhaps a little further to reach Mt. Dough Park. After a stretch and snack break we will return along the same shore.
Route plan B
If winds and currents suggest a Plan B should be executed, we will instead travel south about the same distance and have our stretch and snack at the southwest end of Gyro Beach.
Safety reminders
Always dress for the possibility of immersion and please bring a drybag containing a spare change of clothes. The drybag goes in your kayak with you, not in your car at the launch site. Please bring a lunch or snacks and sufficient beverage to keep you hydrated, as well as a thermos of something warm. Your paddle leader will introduce the plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements. Please stay off the water until the group is ready. If you have a VHF radio please bring it with you.
