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:
From Telegraph Cove, we'll noodle along the shoreline to Ten Mile Point before crossing Baynes Channel to Strongtide Island. We will then circumnavigate Chatham and Discovery islands in a clockwise direction, exploring the many nooks and crannies along the way. We'll stop for lunch at the campsite at Rudlin Bay before continuing our circumnavigation and returning to Telegraph Cove.
As this energizer paddle will encompass some open water crossing and possible currents, a good forward stroke is mandatory. If you have any questions about your suitability for this trip, please reach out to me directly.
Plan B:
TBD. If the weather is uncooperative, an alternate site will be chosen closer to the date.
