Sloughs of the Snohomish/ whale watch

[Lowell]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some good weekends to run the Snohomish River Sloughs and delta with a visit to Marysville where we can tie up to a dock and have lunch. This trip usually covers 20 to 30 miles so bring plenty of gas. Tune the motors cause we travel quick but stop at all the pretty spots which there are many.

The best tide this spring is March 3rd, 4th and 17th, 2012-- the good weather window will determine which day it is.

The start time in the water is 10am and we return back about 2pm. Need to go when the tide is at a good level so don't be late.

If the group is interested and the wind and weather are fair we could go out into Port Gardner Bay and look for the Grey Whales instead, two or three whales usually return every spring about this time.

Are you interested?

Waiting for a forecast on Thursday.

It appears winter still has its grip on the Everett area, however it could change in a short period of time. I would like to wait until Thursday to make the call on waiting until March 17th. I hope this is not too late for people to prepare their rides.

Anyone Interested---For this Sunday the 4th?

Sunday looks like a better weather window, cloudy, overcast and at 53 degrees. Not bad for early spring. The plan is to meet at Rotary Park in South Everett with a later start of 1030 in the water.

If there is no interest this weekend I will offer to go on March 17 or 18th.

If you are interest in seeing gray whales I haven't heard of any yet out in the bay.

If you can make it on Sunday please let me know.

Going again, Saturday the 17th

I will be on the sloughs again next weekend, same time, same place. But will only go if there is no rain. Stay tuned I will look at the weather forecast on thursday morning. If you're interested-- come along, just remember it's a 2 to 3 hour trip so bring enough fuel, lunch and something hot to drink. The launch ramp can be 10 miles away so the motor should be well tuned.
