Cathedral Park to Kelly Point Park RT, L2, 10-9-22

 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: Cathedral Park to Kelly Point Park RT, L2, 10-9-22
Date of Activity: 10/9/0022
Narrative: Join me for my 2nd mentored paddle as we explore along the lower end of the Willamette River. We may even get to paddle by some ships in the Portland Harbor! We’ll launch from Cathedral Park and paddle down river to Kelly Point Park which is located at the convergence of Willamette and Columbia Rivers. At Kelly Point Park we’ll be able to enjoy lunch on the beach and then we’ll have a nice relaxing paddle back to Cathedral Park. On the Portland Parks website it indicates that restrooms are available at both parks, but the ones at Kelly Point Park may be a longer walk.
