Plan A:
This is a 10+ Nm paddle with a one km portage in the middle; wheels required. We’ll begin at Fleming beach and head into Victoria harbour on the north side, avoiding boats, planes and harbour ferries, paddle under the Johnson Street bridge and the Selkirk trestle to Tillicum falls (4.2 Nm).
