This is a relaxed paddle of the Sooke Basin shoreline, visiting Hutchinson Cove, Roche Cove and possibly Anderson Cove. Departure is from the public launch beside Stickleback restaurant (note there is no left turn off Sooke Road, so you have to drive past and find a safe spot for a U-turn).

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.
