We will put in at Pedder Bay Marina. Launch fee is $15 per kayak.
We will follow the coast to Whirl Bay, taking Eemdyk Passage inside Bentinck Island. After rounding Christopher Point, we will carry on to Whirl Bay, where we will stop for lunch. On our return, we will paddle on the outside of Bentinck Island and then cross the mouth of Pedder Bay to paddle back on the north side of Pedder Bay.
Route plan B
An alternative route will be offered in the event of poor weather or demolition-related closure of the area.
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.
