We’ll plan to paddle from Mukilteo out to Hat Island and see if we can find some whales. Itinerary may flex a little based on whale activity in the days prior. This will be a sea kayak trip, and there might be some wind and waves. If the weather doesn’t look great a few days out, I may reschedule. We may have a few boats to lend out to keen paddlers who don’t have sea kayaks; check asap if that’s you. Required reading (background info on the whales): https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/gray-whales-learn-daring-feeding-strategy-in-puget-sound-digging-for-ghost-shrimp-at-high-tide/ Mandatory minimum distance from gray whales is 100 yards. https://www.bewhalewise.org/ Photos a participant took when I led a similar trip for the Mountaineers 2 years ago. A very long lens was used. https://adobe.ly/36jeqr1

Winchester Wasteway is a long paddle through a remote section of the Desert Wildlife Area near Moses Lake. Early spring is a great time to see tons of snow geese, large carp racing in the shallows and the emerging desert flora, without all the heat. Water levels are hard to predict because there is no real-time gauge, but it should be a class 1 river with one swift section of a few hundred yards toward the end. Due to the length and remoteness of the paddle it is recommended that you have completed a long (5+ hours) paddle in the past year and be comfortable in moving water.
