New SISKA members (joined during the past 12 months) will be given preference when registering for this paddle.
Our long time members may also register.
Becher Bay remains one of my favourite local paddles. There’s a feeling of West Coast Wild just a short drive away. An abundance of wildlife and nearly always a sheltered place to paddle out of the wind are bonuses. We’ll be stopping to smell the seaweed on this paddle, allowing plenty of time for new members to get to know each other. There is a $10 launch fee at Cheanuh Marina (spirit bay).
Route plan B
If we can’t paddle within the bay, it’s likely too windy to paddle safely anywhere, so we’ll likely cancel.
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.
