After a beach talk and gear check, we'll paddle out of Telegraph Cove noodling north towards Gordonhead where lunch awaits. Tide will be almost 3 metres on departure, not leaving much beach and not much lower upon our return. Currents will be light, but what there is will be in our favour both directions. It will be cold (it’s December for heaven’s sake!) so dress warmly and bring extra layers for lunch time and if you can hot food. More information as we get closer to the date. If all hell breaks loose, an alternative plan will be proposed.
Route plan B
With the beach closures, if enough paddlers are interested, we will shift to Brentwood Bay to Spectacle Falls. This involves a crossing
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.
