General Information
This trip is relatively beginner friendly. There will be quite a bit of paddling involved: good strength and/or fitness is recommended; paddling experience is a real asset.
Some camping experience is also good. We will be paddling double kayaks (more space - more stable - cheaper to rent).
- FRIDAY October 3: meet in Deep Cove at 3PM (no later because it gets dark early); paperwork faff and load kayaks - paddle circa 1.27 hours to Twin Island campground and camp for the night.
- SATURDAY October 4: breakfast; load kayaks; paddle north on Indian Arm to Granite Falls campground (circa 3.52 hours from Twin); set up camp; dinner, wine & songbook.
- SUNDAY October 5: early breakfast; load kayaks; paddle south (lunch at Jug Island); return to Deep Cove circa 3PM.
We should have time on Saturday to explore the North end of Indian Arm by kayak: if we make good time Sunday we can also explore some islands and bays in the South part of the arm.
How much does it cost?
We will be renting kayaks from Deep Cove Canoe and Kayak, which should come to about $80 each for the three days (includes kayak, paddle, PFD, sprayskirt, mandatory safety equipment).
Food groups will split the cost of food: transportation is FREE if you have a U-Pass! (it's a whopping $6.50 in bus fare if you don't)
What to bring
Detailed list TBP (to be posted) :)
Dryschool
A pre-trip meeting to cover some safety issues; also, planning food and tent groups.
