***Update: Since this Event had to be rescheduled, I will
also be at the breakfast spot on Friday, 12/30. The weather sounds
too rough for kayaking, so this will be breakfast only on Friday.
Due to circumstances beyond our control(the weather forecast),
we've changed the date of this Event to December 29 (Thursday).
Sorry for the inconveniance, but I think this will make it safer
and more enjoyable for everyone.***
When: December 29, 2005 at about 9:00 a.m. or so for
breakfast. You're welcome to join us just for breakfast if
that's all you have time for, but I strongly urge you
to consider doing the kayak part of the trip. It is an
unforgettable journey down the slough. We will also meet at
10:00 a.m. at Kayak Connection and about 10:30 at Kirby Park.
High tide is at 9:15 a.m. or there abouts, and we hope to ride the
tide down the slough to Moss Landing. Please allow for
several hours in your schedule for this Event.
Where:
Breakfast: Lighthouse Harbor Grill
I'll be there at about 9:00 a.m. or so and your welcome to join
us for breakfast if that's all you have time for. The
coordinates for the cache is where the restaurant is located.
Kayak Connection(N36 48.831 W121 47.193):
I'll be there at about 10:00 a.m. If you need to rent a
kayak, this is probably the best option. They offer a
shuttle, and if we fill up the shuttle van (9 available seats when
I checked on 12/17), we can shuttle people up in our own
cars. They have lots of room to get kayaks on the trailer but
van seating is limited.
Kirby Park (N36 50.415 W121 44.594): This will be the
starting point for the kayak trip down the slough. It's about
five to six miles down to Moss Landing and with the way the tide is
running, it could take anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on the
amount of exploring we do. If you have your own boat, you're
welcome to meet us at the launching area at about 10:30 or so
Kayak Connection:
Offering both single and double kayaks, as well as a shuttle
service to Kirby Park. Shuttle service is also available for
the folks that own their own boats, but advanced reservations are
required to assure adequate seating on the van and room on the
trailer. Phone: 831-724-5692
Monterey
Bay Kayaks: Located right next door to KC, offering similar
boats, but last time I checked they didn't have a shuttle service
to Kirby. Phone: (800) 649-5357.
