For this Saturday, we had a request for a daytime downtown paddle from Tidelands Park. The downtown waterfront is always a fun paddle. At night we can see the beautifully lit up skyline. During the day, San Diego still has a great skyline and there’s a lot of activity. It’s going to be a nice sunny day in the mid 60s. The wind should be light and picking up just a little around noon.

We’ll meet at Tidelands park around 8:30 and get ready to launch from the small beach about 9. Then we’ll be paddling up to the Coronado Ferry Landing, which is the shortest crossing. That will get us over to the Embarcadero which will begin our waterfront tour.

Disclaimer: We will have experienced paddlers on this trip, but they will not be responsible for telling you what is or is not safe for you to do. We watch out for one another and assist one another, but all individuals are responsible for, and manage their own safety. This responsibility includes assessing your gear, skill level, and physical conditioning relative to conditions and location, as well as making decisions about what you will or will not do. Participants acknowledge that kayaking is inherently dangerous and can lead to physical injury including death as well as property damage. Participants, on their behalf and on behalf of their heirs and assignees, agree to hold the announcers and other participants blameless in the event of such injury, damage or death. Please join us if you want to mildly stretch your capabilities, but please stay home if you would be wildly stretching them. Participants should have bracing skills, be able to self-rescue and assist in the rescue of others.
