Hi,
I was wondering to myself why people were not signing up for Saturdays paddle and reading the description just now I see why. I know the description above rates it an L3, BUT that is not correct. This is an easy L2 paddle with all protected water. We'll simply be paddling down the ICW and out a creek to the island. We will not be going out the inlet into the breaking surf. We'll be pulling onto the island short of any breaking surf. Please come on out. This is a great opportunity to walk the beach on one of our remote barrier islands. I plan to spend 2-3 hour out on Bull's island. If your interested, the north end of Capers is just across the creek. We'll also have the tide with us each way. Figure 5 miles, then a good break and 5 miles home. On your way home plan on a stop over at the Santee Outpost for some interesting shopping and refreshments. So, come on out.
Dan
