The power boats are all fast asleep...so this is the perfect time to explore Tsehum Harbour. Note that this is a day of strong ebb current, so best to avoid the nearby passages (for example Johns Passage) as the eddy lines will be challenging.
Note that parking at Amherst is limited to just a few hours, so be sure to move your vehicle after you have unloaded to avoid concerning the constabulary.
Route plan B
Brentwood Bay to Todd Inlet or McKenzie Bight.
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.
