Route plan B
Changed location to Telegraph Cove due to the WSW wind forecast. A good decision! Paddle route was paddling to Cadboro Point from Telegraph Cove, around the navigation light (some flood current and few waves...all within E paddle guidelines), then back to Cormorant Point for lunch. An 8.5 n. mile paddle
