Comments and Discussion
This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED). To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt. Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment. If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.
If you register for this event and find that you need to cancel please notify the trip organizer and cancel through the website. Members on the waitlist cannot be added to the roster or notified they are now eligible to attend unless your registration is removed from the trip. To cancel please go to the event registration page on the website and click on "Already Registered". A page will open that will allow you to cancel.
Narrative:Come join Wendy Luo and myself for a Trip in Tillamook Bay. This trip will be geared toward people who want to paddle in Tillamook Bay but have not, if you are not sure please contact me and we can talk, but I encourage you to sign up. PRIORITY will be given to at least 4 people who have not paddled here, as long as they promptly sign up. Distance is short but we will play a bit on the way, maneuvering around piers and such We will head over to The 3 Graces where you will have the option of paddling around some rocks or just watching. Then head across to a little beach for lunch. We will be going with the current most of the time with some short exceptions.
