Full Name: Monte Johnston
Narrative: Join Brad Sheehan and myself for a leisurely 10 mile paddle around Bachelor Island. I paddled the route a week ago and there is enough water (barely) to paddle through the Slough.
We will take a break at the end of the slough before going down the Columbia.
On the Columbia we will enjoy a tide and current assisted paddle down the river to Lake River. We will have a lunch break here before paddling back to our launch/take out spot.
