Meet at Cheanuh Marina in Becher Bay. We will paddle around Becher Bay, following the shoreline in a clockwise direction, exploring the many coves along the way. After reaching the Bedford islands, we will head west, crossing the mouth of the bay, to reach the western shore of Becher Bay. Lunch at Aylard Beach. After lunch we will continue our clockwise paddle, returning to the marina.

The cost to launch at the marina is $10/kayak (previously was $4/kayak).

How participants are selected for this paddle:

1. paddle email announcement is sent out to all SISKA members

2. interested paddlers register

3. paddle leader collects registrations for 3-4 days

4. if fewer than the Max# paddlers register then everyone gets added to the paddle list

5. if more than the Max# paddlers register then the paddler leader does a random draw, those paddlers not drawn go to a waitlist

6. paddlers will be notified by email if they

a) are on the paddle list, or

b) on the waitlist

A paddler who registers two days after the paddle announcement has an equal chance as a paddler who registers 1 minute after the paddle announcement.

If the forecasted conditions do not meet the criteria for a Relaxed paddle (winds < 8 knots) we will attempt to find a safer place to paddle.

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.
