Where:

Who:
This paddle will be led by Tim Frick For more information about this paddle email Tim Frick
Details:
Our leader will introduce the Plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements and any concerns that you may have. Please stay off the water until we are all ready. The leader may choose to enlist helpers and establish communications protocol. If you have VHF radio please bring it with you.
Plan A:
We will launch from the beach down the slight ramp at the end of Verdier Avenue (just before the ferry). From there we can tour Tod Inlet and then come back out and around Willis Point. Travelling along the shoreline we'll reach Mackenzie Bight for our lunch break. After lunch we can head straight back to the launch site, or as an option to add distance, do a quick loop of Sensasus Island for those keeners (and if we have a second leader). Total distance is about 7.5 nm. Please note that the plot doesn't show the initial trip in to Tod Inlet which adds about 2nm to the 5.5 to the Bight and back directly.
Plan B:
Plan B is to stay along the shoreline north of the ferry terminal. We will make this decision after touring Tod Inlet.
