After a beach talk that will focus on the safety of crossing Baynes/Plumper passage, we’ll make our way across to Chatham/Discovery on the mild flood, circumnavigating the islands before lunch at Rudlin Bay and the Discovery Island Marine Park.
The route should be about 9 Nm with a bit more for noodling.
Dress for immersion, pack your lunch, sunscreen and rehydrating liquids. It will be fun!
We may leave from Willows beach at the foot of Bowker
Route plan B
Brentwood Bay to Spectacle Falls with lunch at Mackenzie Bight.
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.
