The originally planned one way paddle from Maple Bay to Genoa Bay requires car sharing, so following Covid guidelines, that is not happening. I’m somewhat flying by the seat of my pants with this replacement paddle. I have paddled this area before, but not frequently. You’ll find it quite rugged, with numerous landing opportunities. Intertidal life is abundant in this area too, and the crossing is short. I’m anticipating a wonderful paddle in an area we don’t often go to.
Our usual Covid protocols will be in place, meaning we will be paddling in two ‘pods’ of six.
If the wind is up, we will just stick to the west side of the passage and forego the crossing
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.
