We have a low tide of 0.25m at around noon this day. We will meet at the beach in front of the tea house for a talk about tides and intertidal life and then head out into the bay to look at the life exposed and near the surface.
Route plan B
If it is too windy in Oak Bay, we may look for another location.
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.
