Level 2-Mats Mats Bay to Port Ludlow

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 depart the campground at 0845 sharp, caravanning to the launch site ( 19 miles, 37 min ) at 60 Carey Ct. inside Mats Mats Bay. Launch time 1030. We'll paddle out of Mats Mats Bay into Puget Sound and travel south to Pt. Ludlow. We'll lunch at the small point in Pt. Ludlow. Return trip to Mats Mats Bay. Should be a sheltered trip if winds prevail from the SE or the NW, however we could find some slightly choppy waters on the return if the wind shifts from the North.
