We will launch at Esquimalt Lagoon near the washrooms at the southwest end. We’ll noodle past Albert Head lagoon, and around Albert Head and then into Witty’s Lagoon. In Witty’s Lagoon we’ll make our way up to Sitting Lady Falls for photo ops. Then back to the Laggon outer edge near the washrooms for lunch. On the way back we’ll take a similar route with the option of going out around Twin Island. Each way is about 4.5nm for a total of 9. Debrief afterwards at Serious coffee.

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.
