Launching from the wide sandy beach at Gyro Park, with washrooms and free parking, we will explore the coastline southward. There will be a stop for a stretch at some point. Plan to bring a snack and/or drink even for a short paddle such as this. It is getting colder so dress warmly and have dry warm mittens for the break and before and after paddling.
Route plan B
If it is very windy, we will need to stay in the bay and not go south beyond the yacht club. We will go both south and north from the launch, and can work on our skills.
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.
