Here's hoping for a sunny day for this gentle paddle to Coles Bay and back. Maybe pack a swimsuit with your lunch as Coles Bay is supposed to be the warmest ocean place to swim in the Victoria area.
Note that we'll need to find alternative street parking nearby after dropping our boats off at the launch site
Route plan B
No plan B. If the wind/weather is that bad, we won't be going anywhere else.
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.
