We'll launch from the ramp at Cheanuh Marina in Spirit Bay. Bring $4 per kayak in an envelope with your vehicle license number noted. Deposit envelope in the pay box near the marina office door. We'll head deeper into Becher Bay as we paddle clockwise around the bay, along the eastern shore to Long Neck Island. Then we'll head back to a small beach for a break. After the break, we'll paddle across Becher Bay to Fraser and Wolf Islands and then follow the western shore back to Cheanuh Marina.
Route plan B
If the winds are too strong for our relaxed paddle, we'll confine our paddle to the lee shore of Becher Bay, depending on wind direction.
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.
