Full Name:: Jon Light-Powell
Narrative:: Come on out for some good clean paddling fun.
We will meet at the non-motorized boat launch at Willamette Park West Linn (I swear it is open this time). We will take a different than usual route up into the Narrows and find a place to have some safety practice and general fun. After that, we will paddle around the Narrows and enjoy the beauty of the area before heading back to our cars.
Afterwards, those interested will meet at a local establishment for dinner.

New to OOPS or want to practice your boat exits and entries? Want to get ready to learn to Roll? This is a good paddle for you.

Wearing or bringing a helmet is a great idea, but not required.
