From Telegraph Cove we'll paddle to Ten Mile Pt, then cross Baynes Channel to Strongtide Island. From there we'll noodle around Chatham and Discovery islands in a clockwise direction, stopping for lunch in Rudlin Bay. We'll continue along back up to Strongtide, then across to Ten Mile Point, and back to Telegraph Cove.
Route plan B
If the weather does not cooperate, we'll depart Telegraph Cove and explore the shoreline as we paddle towards Margaret Bay, where we'll stop for lunch before heading back.
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.
