We may go as far as Cormorant Point or the coastline adjacent to Mt. Douglas Park, depending on the wishes of the group. There will be beach landings along the way but no lunch break. Often on light paddles lunch is eaten when/where we land.
Route plan B
In the case of strong winds and wave action we will launch from Gyro Beach and stay within Cadboro Bay and Loon Bay and if possible follow the shoreline toward Cattle Point. Wind direction will determine our behaviour.
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.
