Sea Kayaking Portland

**P* G* <P*@verizon.net>**

Hi, All,

Anyone care to join me in a flatwater kayak trip on the Willamette  
River?

I would love some company and I'm willing to coordinate a group trip  
Friday, 9/19 at 10:00am. It should be great fun and very easy for  
first-time kayakers. I am experienced in both sea and whitewater  
kayaking and rescue! (unlikely you'll need it ;-) BUT the ability to  
swim is a must. We'll launch from Alder Creek Kayak rentals an easy  
30 minute walk from the hotel.

The following is a trip description from the Portland Kayak company  
website:

First-time kayakers and experienced paddlers alike will enjoy a  
unique perspective of Portland on this guided tour circumnavigating  
Ross Island on the Willamette River.  We'll paddle past an impressive  
blue heron rookery and possibly see bald eagles and osprey as we  
glide by Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge.  There is an unparalleled view  
of Portland's skyline on our way back to the dock.

You should wear clothes that are quick drying like poly pro--not  
cotton.  A windbreaker and water resistant shoes would be suggested  
as well. We can share a taxi back to the hotel and be back in time to  
freshen up before the trade show opens at 3:30. Cost is $35.00 but if  
we have a group of five or more $25.00. Limit 10

Contact me off list if you want to be in on the fun!

Phyllis
