Snohomish River Delta

-
Lucky number 13 kayakers launched from Ebey Waterfront Park and paddled out to Jetty Island. We checked out the barge reef before heading to Jetty Island for a lunch break. The weather was typical Seattle; sunny warm and calm sea's. What could be better? Some  pictures perhaps?

Balmy late afternoon/evening paddle. Little snow in those mountains. The unpaved part of the road, which is pretty potholed, is open early this year.  Pictures here on Facebook

Five paddlers launched from the Rainbow Bridge in La Conner, followed the Swinomish Channel to Goat Island, where we had lunch at the World War I artillery emplacements. We then rounded Goat Island and returned at a leisurely pace through Skagit Bay and the fish hole to La Conner.

Stillaguamish River Delta

  Five paddlers took advantage of the mid-day high tide to explore the Stillaguamish River’s delta and surrounding estuary. They rode the flood tide north from Kayak Point, taking time to appreciate the diverse wildlife including abundant eagles, white swans, seals, kingfishers and more in this section of the amazing Pacific Flyway.   The currents allowed a trip up the main river channel (Hat Slough) to the bridge  on Marine Drive. There we stopped for lunch and enjoyed a brief bit of sunshine. Once underway we enjoyed a brisk 1.5 kt push back down the river taking the more scenic but slightly longer westerly route back in to Port Susan where we were met with a favorable wind and current that made an easy paddle back to Kayak Point. Thanks to Kevin A and Doug M for the great pictures .
