I am pleased to welcome you to an incredible opportunity exploring Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Encompassing over 6000 square miles of ocean, our remarkable sanctuary supports one of the planet’s most biologically diverse marine ecosystems.
Our special day is sponsored by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries in partnership with the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT: go to the Book a Local Tour Button at www.bluewaterventures.org and select the July 14th event at the top of the page: Complimentary Pride Paddle Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary by Kayak.
To secure a space, please make a payment for $75. All those who join our event, will be fully reimbursed on Monday morning, July 15th. Our usual cancellation policy of 10 days notification applies so please make a payment only when you are ready to commit. We expect this event to sell out quickly.
As far as things to bring, here are a few suggestions I can offer:
* Dress in layers — Fleece, capilene, silk or wool are good insulators; bring a warm top that can be put on as the afternoon approaches; a sweatshirt is adequate.
* Long pants sweat pants that can be rolled up work well; an outer shell of nylon material dries quickly, but jeans get soggy and are not recommended.
* Wind breaker or paddling jacket
* Footgear – tennis shoes, Teva type sandals or wet suit booties — any style is fine; they may get wet as we launch your boat.
* Hat with visor for sun protection
* Water bottle-non disposable
* Snack in a non disposable lunch bag –take in boat with you
* Sun glasses (or prescription glasses) attached with a leash
* Binoculars and camera in waterproof bag ( use at your own risk);
* Small, compact daypack (optional)
* Change of clothes to be left in car
* Sea Sickness Medication if you are prone to sea sickness, we recommend taking some form of prevention. Your local pharmacist or physician can give you advice. Bonine taken the night before has worked for many. Drowsiness or thirst can be a side effect. Some clients have used Sea Bands which employ a pressure point on the wrists rather than medication. Sea bands have no side effects and can be purchased at most dive shops.
That covers the logistics for Our Monterey Bay National National Marine Sanctuary by Kayak. Release forms will be discussed and signed before launching our boats. We are looking forward to our adventure together in the Sanctuary.
Very Sincerely,
