We will Meet at Station 26 (marsh side) on Sullivans Island and paddle with the outgoing tide to the sandbar at Breech Inlet. We will hang out there about an hour with time to relax and eat brunch. When we are finished we will take advantage of the incoming tide and head back at a leisurely pace.
Bring a chair, your favorite things to eat, and a camera. This is a GORGEOUS spot - my favorite picnic spot in Charleston!
We would like to be ON THE WATER by 9:30am. Please arrive with enough time to unload and park for a timely departure. Our safety briefing will be at 9:15am and we will be on the water by 9:30am. We will NOT be able to wait for late arrivals.
Plan to be on the water for about 2 hours.
If you don't have your own equipment there are a limited number of boats available for rental - the fee is $45 and includes a kayak, paddle, PFD, light & whistle.
For a rental reservation please call or message Kendra directly at 843-834-0064. I will need a Venmo payment (@kendra-tuck ) to hold the reservation.
***Cancellations less than 24 hours in advance will NOT be refunded. If weather prevents the event a full refund will be issued.
*Please be aware there are no facilities at this location so please plan accordingly!
As always:
This is a MeetUp event and you are responsible for your own safety. Life jackets must be fitted properly and WORN at all times.
*LEVEL 1: Ideal for a less experienced kayaker (or a more experienced kayaker looking for a slower paced event). **This is NOT for someone with no kayaking experience.**Mostly calm waters - moderate pace - distances typically 4 - 6 total miles. Any type of kayak is appropriate but we will keep a consistent pace. Sit-On-Tops, inflatables, some small recreational kayaks and fold up kayaks may struggle to keep pace.
*LEVEL 2: PRIOR SEA KAYAKING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Prior safety training highly recommended. Semi-open or open waters - faster pace - distances typically 7 - 10 total miles. Some chop and waves. Most people will be in a sea kayak to be able to cover the distance with a consistent pace.
*LEVEL 3: Suitable for the VERY EXPERIENCED SEA KAYAKER ONLY. The level three paddler MUST have a reliable self-recovery technique as well as training in assisting others in rescue situations. Open waters. Winds up to 15 knots and waves or swells less than 3 feet - consistent fast pace - distances in excess of 12 – 18 miles. Spray skirts and personal safety gear are a must. Sea kayaks of at least 14' with bow & stern bulkheads required.
