A moderate ebb will turn to a moderate flood around 11am. This will permit a crossing of Baynes Channel near slack. On the return from Discovery Island there is potential to use the flood to carry the group the length of Plumper Passage during the crossing back to the Glass House at the end of Ten Mile Point. If there is wind on the day, Plan B may be necessary.

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.
