Kayak Poker Run paddling on June 29

Jun 13, 2013

The Onset Bay Association's annual Kayak Poker Run and Cape Cod Kayak Show is scheduled for Saturday, June 29, at Shell Point.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. for a 10 a.m. launch.

Paddlers make their way through Sunset Cove and Onset Bay, picking up a playing card at various locations, before returning to Shell Point to determine who has the best poker hand.

Participants of all abilities can play. It costs $25 to ante up. If you don't like your hand, you can purchase new cards — and hope for better results — for $2 per card.

Rental kayaks will be available through Onset's Nemasket Kayak Center at a cost of $30. Call 774-501-2205 to 508-944-2539 to make a reservation.

The Shell Point parking lot is accessed off of West Boulevard in Onset. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Onset Bay Association.
