Launching at the ferry wharf, we’ll head north hugging the coast to coal bay. The distance is just over 8 nautical miles (16km) so it will take about 4 hours including lunch. The tide will be very low; be prepared to get a bit muddy on the launch
Route plan B
We can head into Todd inlet if the weather is not cooperative
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.
