We will launch at Cadboro Bay and enjoy a paddle exploring along the shoreline, past Cattle Point, Willows Beach, Oak Bay Marina, around Gonzales Pt, through Enterprise Channel into McNeill Bay then around Harling Pt. We will stop at Gonzales Beach for lunch. (Lots of white sand and bathrooms too.) If time and conditions allow, and the inclination is there, we could paddle around Trial Island too. Return same route.
Route plan B
Launch at Telegraph Cove and head north along the shoreline.
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.
