TRIP DESCRIPTION
A 5 mile round trip south of Sausalito to Yellow Bluff where we’ll see the Southern Marin coastline, views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and get into more dynamic waters and possibly winds.
We’ll get to practice paddling in conditions that can be bumpy, wavy, and windy. Comfort in these conditions or willingness to get into a bit rougher waters will be helpful. We’ll talk about tides and currents and how they are affected by land features closer to the Gate.
Enjoy viewing wildlife along the way! Wildlife encounters can include harbor seals, sea lions, pelicans, cormorants and other shore birds.
