Sea Kayaking SAN JUAN ISLANDS, WASHINGTON<br />
3 Paddlin’ with a Porpoise<br />
4 San Juan Wanderers<br />
5 Lummi Landers<br />
These Scrambles will be spent sea kayaking in the gorgeous San Juan Islands. Depending upon conditions, the groups<br />
may explore small, nearby islands as well. We’ll wake up with the tides, learn technical paddling skills and play in the<br />
ocean currents. Expect to paddle between 4-10 miles per day. Evenings will be spent CAMPING SEASIDE, cooking<br />
up backcountry specialties and playing fun games with your fellow Scramblers. Highlights include the opportunity to<br />
see unique ocean wildlife and paddle along beautiful coastlines. Paddling can be hard work in rough conditions, so be<br />
prepared for both a challenge and a great time!<br />
