New SISKA members (joined during the past 12 months) will be given preference when registering for this paddle.
Our long time members may also register.
Meet at Cheanuh Marina in Becher Bay. We will paddle around Becher Bay, following the shoreline in a clockwise direction, exploring the many coves along the way. After reaching the Bedford islands, we will head west, crossing the mouth of the bay, to reach the western shore of Becher Bay. Lunch at Aylard Beach. After lunch we will continue our clockwise paddle, returning to the marina.
The cost to launch at the marina is $10/kayak (previously was $4/kayak).
Route plan B
Hoping the weather should cooperate in late July, if needed, we will do an abbreviated paddle in the bay proper, as it is well protected.
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.
