January 28th - Sidney Spit

Mike, Gary, Susan, Mac and I set out from Roberts Bay (tide was too high at Amherst!) and paddled to Sidney spit park via Ker and Dock Islands. It was a bit rough between Dock and Sidney Spit. When we got to Sidney Spit there was a brisk wind and some rain - not the most pleasant picnic. The paddle back was easier. I used my Werner Kalliste paddle instead of the greenland paddle. It took almost until we were back before I felt comfortable with the ‘euro” paddle. (8.5 nm, 15.6 Km) (92 km YTD)

Shots of Mac:
