What to bring on Kayak Group
Specific to this permit, not a generic camping list.
- Bring
Your own drinking water, and enough of it. The park has had water shut off in the Camp Reynolds area for system repairs, and supplies containers only when it does
- Bring
A sea kayak and the skills to use it
this is an open-water Bay crossing with commercial traffic, tide and wind
- Bring
Dry bags for everything
because gear gets loaded and unloaded on a beach
- Bring
A wind-worthy tent. The west shore takes weather straight through the Golden Gate
- Bring
Layers for fog and evening chill, even in July
- Bring
Navigation lights and a whistle if there is any chance of paddling near dusk
20 people can go on one permit. Split this list between them so nobody carries two stoves.
