Registration

"Member Registration
Active club members, including kayaking professional and lifetime. Provisional acceptance, pending approval by the trip organizer if this is a paddle"

This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED). To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt. Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment. If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.

Activity Title: Nehalem Bay Event: Nehalem River Tour
Date of Activity: 8/28/2021
Narrative: This trip will explore the Nehalem River between the town of Nehalem and Roy Creek Park, the furthest point for tidal effects. We will start at Nehalem and go up river with the flood current, take a break at Roy Creek Park, then return to the town on the ebb current. The total distance is about 13 miles, but will seem less because of current assist.
