Description
What:
A SISKA Energizer paddle from Fleming Beach to Victoria Harbour Loop
Skill Level:
This paddle is rated as an Energizer Paddle because of its distance and open water crossings and possible current. To understand this designation better, please read SISKA's Paddle Guidelines.
The total distance of this paddle is estimated to be approximately nm.
When:
Sunday, March 29th, 2026. Meet at the launchsite by 09:30am to be on the water by 10:00am
Where:
We will launch at Fleming Beach. Need directions to the launchsite? Click here.
Who:
TBA
Details:
Our leader will introduce the Plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements and any concerns that you may have. Please stay off the water until we are all ready. The leader may choose to enlist helpers and establish communications protocol. If you have VHF radio please bring it with you.
Plan A:
Counterclockwise tour of Victoria Harbour, Gorge Waterway, portage at Portage Inlet to a lunch stop at Portage Park. Then paddle out of Esquimalt Harbour (be sure to call Harbour Master on VHF Channel 10) and back to Fleming Beach.
Ayetides predicts a less than 1 knot flood at the Gorge-Tillicum Bridge between 8am and 12pm but tide levels are near a 1 meter difference between the lower and upper Gorge. Immersion clothing is recommended for those unexpected swims. They do happen from time to time.
Come back at 6pm to see the 6.5 knot ebb in action.
Plan B:
TBA
Plot:
There is no plot for this paddle at this time
Registration:
Registrations for this paddle are not open at this time.
