ALLYN, Wash. (AP) - About 75 kayakers paddled their way into the town of Allyn in southern Puget Sound to end the Puget Sound Challenge.

The celebration Saturday marked the end of a six-month effort to paddle 150 miles along Hood Canal and Puget Sound. The journey was made in 14 segments, with more than 100 paddlers participating in all.

The event was organized by the Olympic Kayak Club as a fundraiser for Washington Water Trails, a group that advocates for waterways access for people in human- or wind-powered watercraft.
