Meeting in the parking lot at the Oak Bay Marina, we'll launch from the beach just to the south of the lot (down the stairs). We'll paddle through the Chains then through the Chathams and around to Rudlin Bay on Discovery for lunch. Returning past Cormorant Point we'll head back through the Chains and back to the marina.
Route plan B
TBA - somewhere with less impact from wind.
Cross to Chatham and Discovery, go down the cut and around Chatham, then back down the channel to the W side of Discovery, and shoreline to a beach before Cormorant Pt.
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.
