Becher Bay is a gem! We will follow the north and east shoreline out to Smyth Head. We will backtrack a bit and cross to Fraser Island to paddle the fun rocks on the south end. We will then cross to Creyke Point and follow the shoreline around to the beach at Cabin Point for lunch. Our return will retrace into the bay but then stay on the west side back to the marina. If you plan to play a bit in the rocks, please ensure that you’re wearing a helmet and gloves. I will be turning away anyone not wearing immersion clothing.
Route plan B
If the winds are threatening, we will doing a thorough exploration within the bay
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.
