Leaving our launch point at Spirit Bay/Cheanuh Marina, we will cross Becher Bay and tour the east side of the bay. Good noodling opportunities in this area with generally calm waters. Leaving Becher Bay, we will paddle past the Bedford Islands and the exposed shoreline heading east to Church Point and Whirl Bay. We will lunch at the beach behind Shelter Island in Whirl Bay.

After lunch, we will head west and back to Becher Bay crossing over from Smyth Head to Frazer Island and then back to our launch point at Spirit Bay.

We can debrief our paddle once we are all packed up at the Pedder Bay Marina coffee shop which is 5 minutes away from Spirit Bay.

Ocean swell and some currents and the possibility of wind in this exposed area outside Becher Bay mean that paddlers should feel comfortable in these conditions and have a good strong forward stoke.

Drysuits or wet suits as your immersion gear are mandatory for this paddle due to the exposed waters here along the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

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.
