Fred Howard Park to Three Rooker Bar -- Launch near picnic shelter #6

Saturday, May 18

EVENT DETAILS:

Trip leader: Jill Mosteller, jill@tbsk.club, 503-477-2461

Description: Sorry for the short notice, but we decided to offer folks something in addition to the Greenland Stroke event. If you're into more of just a friends paddle, this is that alternative. 

We will paddle from Fred Howard Park, Tarpon Springs to the north end of Three Rooker Island and back.  At the island we can take a break for a snack and some cool-off splash around time.  Weather forecast is calling for 10mph winds out of the southwest with scattered to isolated thunderstorms in the morning (30% chance of precipitation).  Total distance: ~6 miles.

LocationFred Howard Park - 1700 Sunset Dr, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689.  We will gather near picnic shelter #6 and shuttle boats about 100 yds over to our typical launch spot just south across the little bridge.

Schedule: Saturday, May 18th meet at 8:30 a.m.  Launch ready at 9:00 a.m.

Additional information: No charge for parking. Restrooms are nearby. The picnic will be in Shelter #5.

Difficulty: This paddle is at the top end of L2 skills due to potential windy conditions, chop and an approximately 2.5-mile open crossing. Please self assess using the chart below or contact the trip leader.

Required: 

  • Sea kayak of at least 15-feet with water-tight bulkheads
  • Type III or V PFD with whistle attached
