Depart from the beach to the left of the Brentwood ferry dock. Follow the coastline from Willis Point to Mackenzie Bight for a lunch stop before backtracking along the shore to the launch beach. There is a washroom at the launch, and pit toilets at Mckenzie Bight. Some parking is available in front of the Brentwood Bay Resort on Verdier, or on one of the nearby side streets. Remember to bring a change of dry clothes in a drybag, and sufficient liquids to maintain hydration. Tide at launch site will be at 8.7 feet at 1000hrs dropping to 7.2 feet by 1430hrs - there should be beach to launch from but there might not be much to work with. Expect to be back at the launch beach around 1500hrs.
Route plan B
TBA - wind strength & direction will determine if the paddle proceeds as planned or relocates.
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.
