We will launch at the small beach near the Brentwood Bay to Mill Bay ferry ( i.e. the foot of Verdier Avenue). After leaving the launch point, we will cross over Saanich Inlet to the old Bamberton cement plant. we will then noodle the west shoreline of Saanich Inlet and pass under the new Malahat Skywalk tourist attraction at McCurdy Point. Once we reach the landing at Spectacle Falls, we will decide if we want lunch here or after we cross over again the inlet and reach McKenzie Bight.
After lunch, we will head north and noodle the shoreline of Willis Point before reaching our launch point again to pull out.

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.
