Join Robert and friends on a paddle to Hope Island South! We will have options for beginners to intermediate paddles.

Tentative ScheduleGroup A (Walker Park) – This would be a sea kayak group only – full immersion gear, proper kayaks, safety stuff, etc (UP TO 6 paddlers unless I have an added leader)

Group B (Arcadia) – Open to all craft, with immersion gear, PFD (with whistle), etc (Group will need at least one ‘leader’ for added eyes)

• Meet at 1:00 PM
• Safety Talk at 2:00 PM (Given by me)

Groups A & B

• Launch by 2:30 PM
• Land back at Arcadia by 4:00/4:15 PM based on 3nm paddle at 2 knots

Group B

• Packs up and heads to Walker, there by 5:30 PM ( I will need a ‘lead’ to make sure everyone gets off the water and packed up with some supervision/help.

Group A

• Continues back to Walker after making sure everyone is off the water
• Land at Walker Park at 5:00/5:15 PM (based on max flood at 2.8 knots at 5:06) Shouldn’t take us more than an hour to go 5.5-6 nm at a 3 knot pace + 2+ knots of current.

Group A will need some food saved so we can get off the water and deal with kayaks and gear

Meanwhile, back at Walker Park we will be ready to bar-b-que the salmon when you arrive! Please bring any side dishes and beverages you would like to drink.
