We'll head out from Telegraph Cove at a leisurely pace, exploring the shoreline on route to Glencoe Cove - Kwatsech park. We'll paddle the entire waterfront of the park then return back to Glencoe Cove. Depending on group sentiment we might take a short break at Glencoe Cove (very likely if it's sunny and warm !). Then, paddle back to the launch, taking a more direct path.
We will have 2 pods of paddlers, with 6 paddlers per pod:
POD 1 (Lead: Mike Teachman) - arrive by 0900, on the water 0930h
POD 2 (Lead: Mike Jackson) - arrive by 0930, on the water 1000h
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.
