The distance directly from Whiffen Spit (Google Quimper Park to find the launch site) to Cabin Point is just over 4 nautical miles so we will extend our distance to 9 nm paddling around the spit, conditions permitting.
Route plan B
In order to extend our distance to 10 nautical miles, we will go 1 nm beyond Cabin Point to Beechey Head if wind and currents allow.
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.
