After a beach talk, we will head out of the beach on the NORTH side of the marina towards the chain islets and onwards to Discovery Island. We will circumnavigate Discovery island counter clockwise stopping for lunch at Discovery Island Marine Park. The paddle will then pass the lighthouse at Pandora Hill, entering the channel between Discovery and Chatham. We will then catch the ebb current back towards Oak Bay Marina

TBA If the wind gods do not favour our endeavour, we will seek a more appropriate path
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.
