We'll be launching at the user friendly sand beach at the foot of Amherst Drive. After our beach talk and introductions we will wind our way along the shoreline, venturing out around Goudge Island, taking a very casual approach to the paddle. It will be important that we keep together, as this is a high boat traffic area, and we will be respectful in sharing the water. Lunch will likely be at Nymph Point Park/North Saanich Yacht Club beach. We'll return, following the shoreline and poking around in the marinas as much as boat traffic allows.

Safety reminders
Always dress for the possibility of immersion and please bring a drybag containing a spare change of clothes. The drybag goes in your kayak with you, not in your car at the launch site. Please bring a lunch or snacks and sufficient beverage to keep you hydrated, as well as a thermos of something warm. Your paddle leader will introduce the plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements. Please stay off the water until the group is ready. If you have a VHF radio please bring it with you.
