Great Sarah. You'll love the LY!
Wow look at all the Open Boats on this trip.

So how about some more Kayakers to balance this thing out.

If your coming for breakfast, then come to the campground by 8:30.
If not, just be at the Put in by 9:45. I will be in the MangoVan (big white ford van). We'll run a drivers shuttle then.

A heads up for first timers - the water is cold - usually around 58?

Thinking mid to upper sixties this time of year? Maybe higher?

I recall my first time, in June I think, freaking out that everyone in the parking lot was donning wetsuit stuff and I had brought zero thermal gear. As it turned out I was rolling to cool off by the end of the day. In summer months I've found it to be refreshingly cool. If you chill easily then you should bring a bit of protection.
