We’ll launch from Amherst Ave. beach in Sidney, paddle north along the shore to Roberts Bay, cross the bay to Armstrong Point and follow the shoreline into Tsehum Harbour, then cross the bay as a group to Curteis Point, continuing along the shoreline as far as time and energy allow. We’ll follow the same route home.The attached map is for general reference; we won’t be following the marked route.
Route plan B
Due to the dangerous heat wave advisory from Environment Canada, we have moved the light paddle to Elk Lake’s Eagle Beach, with launch moved up to 9 a.m.
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.
