Who:
This paddle will be led by Greg Rooney For more information about this paddle email Greg Rooney
Details:
Our leader will introduce the Plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements and any concerns that you may have. Please stay off the water until we are all ready. The leader may choose to enlist helpers and establish communications protocol. If you have VHF radio please bring it with you.
Plan A:
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. We will launch from the parking lot at Stickleback West Coast Eatery (whose washrooms we cannot use) and follow the coast clockwise to Roche cove and on to Anderson Cove depending on the the weather, winds and the ambition of the group. The weather will be monitored and revisions made. Bring Lunch!
Plan B:
TBA If we need to change the paddle it will be due to winds from the South/Southwest meaning a launch from Brentwood Bay will probably be safer.
