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. We will launch from the parking lot at Stickleback West Coast Eatery (whose washrooms we cannot use) and follow the coast clockwise to Roche cove and on to Anderson Cove depending on the the weather, winds and the ambition of the group. The weather will be monitored and revisions made. Bring Lunch!
Route plan B
TBA If we need to change the paddle it will be due to winds from the South/Southwest meaning a launch from Brentwood Bay will probably be safer.
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.
