Sauvie Is Boat Ramp to Kelley Point, RT, L2, 7-17-22

•  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: Sauvie Is Boat Ramp to Kelley Point, RT, L2, 7-17-22
Date of Activity: 7/17/2022
Narrative: We will put in at the Sauvie Island boat ramp and paddle out to Kelley point park. Traveling up Multnomah Channel the water is calm and flat. We will pass by the marina and a large community of house boats. The channel merges into the Wilamette River where it becomes a shipping port. We will pass by large ships picking up cargo. Then we will have lunch ay Kelly point park. This is an interesting paddle in observing the different manifestations that the river takes on.
This is really suitable for level one paddlers The water is generally flat and the current mild. It is a 12-mile paddle so if you are good with that join us.
