Very limited parking at the launch point. Paddler number limited to six. We will likely launch on the outside of the spit, but depending on if there are on-shore winds, may decide to launch on the inside of the spit. We will follow the shoreline on the east side of Sooke Inlet to Possession Point. If the sea state is appropriate for the group, we will go around Secretary Island and follow the shore to Cabin Point.
Route plan B
If wind predictions are great, we will paddle inside Sooke Harbour.
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.
