We are having quite a few folks signing up or an account, and the club wants to see you all paddle with us if you can. Also, if you want to suggest a paddle or have the club consider a trip--please let us know, we welcome the input. Check the calendar, load up your boat and get it wet! Hope to see you soon! David

The club will be having an all level paddle this Saturday, July 24th. We will launch at 9:00 am from the Brownsville Marina and just paddle the shore toward Keyport. We might stop for ice cream at the Keyport Store:) We will not be going far, nor will we go fast, this is an easy-enjoy the day paddle. See you then. David

What a great day we ended up with on this one. Wonderful sun and views of the big Mountain. The paddle was very calm going south but our return trip things picked up enough to make for a more spirited paddle. How about those rolers on the return at the Northern most point of Vashon? All in all the paddle was 15.2 nautical. That 17.5 statute. See you folks at the Seattle Police Foundation paddle.

Some of you may have gone to the Seattle Police Foundation web site and noticed they have the wrong route posted for the paddle on the 12th. I have spoken to Renee and they are going to get that corrected. The information on this site is correct. The paddle will be on Lake Washington, starting at 9:00am or as soon as we get everyone registered:) I will also be posting more information concerning where we will meet at Magnusson Park as soon as I get that info from the Foundation. I know it will be by one of the pavillions, and I think that is by the big parking area.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to send out a brief reminder concerning the upcoming Seattle Police Foundation Paddle that the Olympic Kayak Club is hosting. This event will be taking place on June 12th at Magnusson Park at Lake Washington. Please remember:
1. Launch time is 9:00 am. Paddler's meeting at 8:45 am.
2. Try to be at the park early enough to be ready to go by then.

Look who is taking notice. I sure hope we have some of their readers attend.

Hello Everyone, don't forget tomorrow's paddle. We will launch at 9:00 am from Manchester State Park, there will be a paddler's meeting at 8:45 prior to the launch. There is no shuttle on this paddle, YEAH!! The route will take us out to Blake Island, over to Southworth and then back to Manchester. I hope to see you all there! David

I am coming back to kayaking after a 15-year layoff. I went to the Outdoor Equipment Show in Port Gamble and got inspired by all the kayaks.

I went home and got my trusty Pacific Water Sports Sea Otter Expedition out of the garage and cleaned it up.

Now I'm ready to get my paddles wet again, but want to not jump in too deep. Anyone up for a leasurly paddle this Saturday morning (5/22) out of Port Gamble or Poulsbo?

Thanks.
