Skamokawa November 2007

Pleasant day of paddling with Kristin, Katlyn and Breanna. Rented boats for the girls from Skamokawa Center. (Well, Katlyn ended up paddling my Romany.) Paddled lazily down Steamboat Slough and back, then up Skamokawa Creek a bit and back.

It was a very high tide that day. We started paddling on the flood and returned to Skamokawa Center along Steamboat Slough for lunch as it began to ebb. After lunch our short paddle up Skamokawa Creek was on the ebb. Still not much current so not much work to paddle upstream. A very easy paddle back to Skamokawa Center. A bit of wind out on the Columbia (maybe 10 kt) so to make things easier for the girls we stayed in sheltered areas.
