After spending a lot of Saturday mornings in Mariner’s Basin practicing our rescue and rolling skills, some of us are going to venture out the next two Saturdays.

Saturday, Oct. 2 – La Jolla coastal paddle -north or south and return

Drop boats off at the launch ramp by 8:30 before parking; launch at 9.  Will probably paddle a couple of hours and then find a spot for lunch. We may encounter some surf so please assess your skills before RSVPing.  This is an intermediate paddle.

Saturday, Oct. 9 – Newport Beach Coast Guard Station paddle.

1911 Bayside Drive, Corona del Mar

It’s a good hour and a half drive–5N to 405N to Jamboree, then head W; need to leave here about 7 in hopes of launching by 9. There’s a small parking lot but plenty of street parking–it’s in a neighborhood. Sandy beach launch; bring wheels; bathrooms and boat wash facilities. Very pretty coastal paddle, appropriate for those intermediate paddlers comfortable in open water; similar to here, depending on the day.

As a reminder, you’re responsible for your own safety.

RSVP to Jane Hardy (janehardy@cox.net) for each session
