| + | * **Barnacle Paddles **- the [[:barnacle_definition|Barnacles]] paddle on Bellingham Bay (anyone welcome, but know your limits on rough water days) most Tuesdays & Thursdays launching at 10 am from Marine Park. Likewise they launch from MP on Saturday mornings at 9 am. Times may be adjusted somewhat on rough days on the fly for downwinders to choose launch conditions that are better (either to get stronger waves and wind or to get less waves and wind on really strong days). | ||
| + | * In 2026 parking has become more of a problem at Marine Park than in previous years. This seems to be due both to increase in recreation there (all forms of wind related sports, foiling, winging, parasails, etc.) as well as more large groups visiting the park. If you want to catch a spot for one of the morning workouts get their early or don't be surprised if you have to drop your boat off and park in parking lots farther away from Marine Park. | ||

| + | * **Bellingham Bay Variant** | ||
| + | * In recent years (2024…) the Wednesday Night races have moved to the Bay (Cornwall Beach, Squalicum Beach) during the summer, getting away from the summertime boat traffic on Lake Whatcom and often adding a potluck get together after the races. Kevin Olney has organized most of these instead of continuiing his previous summertime race series the "Hot Five". Watch Whatcom Paddlers for race instance and location announcements. | ||
