This is PLAN A for POD2 of this SISKA Paddle. Trip Leader is Tim Frick.

PLEASE NOTE: You must be at the launch site by 9:15am and ready for the shore talk by 09:35, and on the water at 09:45. If you are late and other pods are full, you may not be permitted to paddle on this trip.

If you are able, please assemble your kayak and gear in the grassy area near the washrooms. Then move your kayak to the shore no sooner than 15 minutes before launch time.

We will launch from the pocket beach next to the small park just uphill from the Brentwood Bay ferry wharf. There is a washroom here for those last minute adjustments.

After our distanced beach talk we'll explore Tod Inlet then go to Willis Point and follow the shore line to Mackenzie Bight for our lunch stop. After lunch we'll head back along the shoreline, around Willis Point and back to the launch site. Please ensure you have a lunch plus a drink/snack accessible from your cockpit. As usual your friendly paddle leader will require you wear immersion clothing, sprayskirt and a smile.

The winds and weather look quite good but check back just in case changes are required. Just a heads up that the tide will be quite high upon launch but I think there will still be enough beach to load and launch our boats.

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.
