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:
The launch is at the east end of Esquimalt Lagoon, with tons of parking. With luck, we will not have any surf to deal with at the launch site, but it is winter! After our beach talk, we will launch at 10:00 and paddle through the Esquimalt Harbour and up Millstream to the falls. The high tide on Sunday will allow us to paddle right up to the Falls, for a little fun. Exiting Millstream, we will paddle along the eastern Shoreline of Esquimalt Harbour and head towards Portage park for a lunch break, before paddling back to the launch site.

TBA
