This is a beautiful shoreline paddle from Whiffen Spit to Cabin Point in East Sooke Park. If the ocean swell conditions permit we'll launch on the outside part of the spit, otherwise we'll launch on the Sooke Basin side. Lunch will be at Cabin Point. After lunch we'll paddle back, often taking a bit more a direct route. There is very limited parking at Whiffen Spit so we'll try to figure out some car pooling options. This is often a popular paddle, so to keep things fair I run a lottery if the paddle is over subscribed. I'll collect paddler names for a couple of days then do a random draw if the number of paddlers exceeds the trip limit (8 paddler limit).

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.
