This trip is limited to OOPS members who are WEC.   As with all trips & classes at Events, registration will take place at the HQ campsite.

Narrative: We will launch from the boat ramp near the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, and paddle at a leisurely pace toward Port Townsend waterfront. We may stop at the Boat Haven en route to Fort Townsend State Park. Or we may stop at the Boat Haven on the return. Or both. Should be a relaxing 10 mile round trip. Or we may just paddle to the Boat Haven and call that enough and have an on shore break/lunch. Some amenities are available nearby locally, such as coffee and cafes.
