Date
October 3rd - 5th, 2008
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. Camping experience is also an asset.
FRIDAY October 3: meet in Deep Cove (accessible by bus) at 3PM; 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.
For those interested, 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.
