Launch Point  Browns Point
Max Difficulty:  SKI/II
Destination  Hylebos Waterway
Duration  4 Hours
Trip Notes: Paddle east along the north shore of Commencement Bay past the marina's and seal rookeries.  Take a detour and go through the marina... Several sea lions make this area there home and caution should be exercised around their resting spots since they weigh about 1,000+ pounds.  Don't get to close, although the smell will keep you away.

Hylebos Waterway is an industrialized area with shipyards, lumberyards and other industrial activity.  It's a different kind of paddle exploring the industrialized areas.
