Seattle to Winslow - Paddle Over, Roll on Ferry Back
Hosted by Seattle Kayaking Meetup
Details
Let's do a multi-mode paddle from Seattle to Winslow ... : ) ...
We'll paddle from a beach in Magnolia to Discovery Park, then across to Winslow and around scenic Eagle Harbor, then roll onto the ferry back Seattle, roll our kayaks 1.5 flat miles up Alaskan Way and the Myrtle Edwards Trail, launch at the first beach on the trail and paddle back to our launch location.
And ... this whole barrel of monkeys of fun will only be 10 nautical miles of paddling ... : )
