Launching from Gyro Beach (Cadboro Bay) and paddling south to Gonzales Bay, staying close to shore. Lunch at Gonzales Bay.
Route plan B
If the sea is flat and the group is interested in extending the paddle a little further, we might paddle out to the Chain Islands.
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.
