Leaving Spirit Bay Marina, we will hug the eastern shore of Becher Bay, round Large Bedford Island and have our lunch stop in Whirl Bay. On the return journey, we will have the option to cross Becher Bay to hug the shore starting at Wolf Island.
Route plan B
A more sheltered alternative will be offered if the weather is not cooperative.
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.
