This was a sea kayaking trip that we started from Stanton Primitive Campground after renting a 2 person sea kayak at the marina. It's a long but easy paddle. The views are great, and since it was late summer the boat traffic was minimal due to kids being back in school.

As with any other trip here pack the usual supplies for any backcountry trip into dry bags and take them along.
