The plan is to meet at the VCKC, and then proceed a bit up to the rapids, just for a peek, then turn and go to the end of the Portage Inlet and back. This is a very relaxed paddle, well protected with calm waters.

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.
