Saturdays Harvest Moon Paddle October 6th

Posted in Uncategorized on September 28, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Plan to leave from East Bay Park no later than 10:00 AM.  The tide will be coming in so you will want to return no later than 1:00PM as high tide will be at 2:00PM.  Check the winds for the bay before venturing out as things can get rough in the afternoon. While going out stay to the left of the Islands to more protected waters.  Same on the return trip follow the same side of the island and head to right behind other islands before cutting diagonally across the bay to park or put in. Check a map and you will see what I mean regarding the islands.  Those of you who paddled this last year know what I mean regarding the islands, the wind and the tides.
Have a safe trip!
