This event is an opportunity for the paddling community to get together and spend some time on the water. At 11am, there will be an informal discussion on improving the experience for paddling in Trinidad. Topics can include safety, parking/unloading issues, developing opportunities for networking and ……. ? Refreshments will be provided! June 8 is World Oceans Day, the United Nations day for celebrating the role of the oceans in our everyday life and inspiring action to protect the ocean and sustainably use marine resources. According to the World Oceans Day website, “Every 8 June, we have an opportunity to raise global awareness of the benefits humankind derives from the ocean and our individual and collective duty to use its resources sustainably. Future generations will also depend on the ocean for their livelihoods!” The Trinidad Rancheria wholeheartedly agrees with this sentiment, and has strived to interject ocean sustainability and coastal resilience in its marine stewardship goals locally. The Tribe partners with many local groups to reach these goals; including the California Coastal National Monument, the Seabird Protection Network, West Coast Ocean Alliance, and the Humboldt Marine Protected Areas Collaborative Network.

Paddle downstream about 2mi, then get out on the spit for a snack or early lunch and poke around on the dunes. This is an easy, basically flatwater paddle suitable for all levels. Dress for immersion or not. Low tide should be about 10:40 at .35ft. Incoming tide may assist on paddle back. This is one of my favorite paddles due to its scenic wildlife setting. Birds, plants, sand and water, what more is there. Bring a friend! ($10 insurance fee for non club members) contact Charlotte chaz.cerny@gmail.com if you have any questions. ps: parking lot is unattended, so advice is only bring what you need.
