Narrative: This will be a shuttle trip. We will meet at Sunset Bay to drop our gear. Then we will do a shuttle over to Charleston marina to drop our cars. We hope to launch back at Sunset Bay for the paddle by 10:00 am. From Sunset Bay we will paddle out thru the passage of Cape Argo lighthouse by Bastendorff beach then thru the Coos Bay jetty. Once thru the jetty we will paddle up the bay and lunch at Hungryman Cove for lunch. We will then paddle back to the Charleston marina for takeout. This is about 10 Kn miles.
