A moderate ebb current in the morning will dictate a route toward the channel marker situated north of the Chatham Islands. This will allow paddlers to round the top of the Chathams for a paddle down the east side of the island group to the lunch stop at Rudlin Bay. After 1pm a light flood will carry paddlers back to Ten Mile Point and the put-in at Telegraph Cove.
Route plan B
If its forecast windy (>15 knot gusts-ish) we will go west, probably Cheanah to Whirl Bay, tbd the previous evening.
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.
