Introduction to Kayak Trip Planning with Daniel Joy

Introduction to Kayak Trip Planning – a great follow-up to our last class!

There are many options for day trips and over night trips in the Puget Sound. This talk will cover how to use the tools needed to plan a kayak trip – charts, compass, course plotter, current predictions (and tides), and weather.

We will then use these tools to pick the best trip out of three examples based on currents, time, and weather.
