June 28th - Chatham Island (29)

Tony and I set out early from Smugglers cove and padded over to Chatham. It was another beautiful sunny day. There was a solid ebb current running, but no waves. We had to work to make our way back to 10 mile point! Great morning and bac home by noon!

Discovery Island June 25th (28)

Gordin, George, Gerard, Mark and I set off from Cadboro Bay on a beautiful sunny day. We paddled out to 10 mile point and then over to Chatham and around Discovery. After lunche we paddled over to Oak Bay/Willows Beach via the chain islets and followed the shore back to Cadboro Bay. Perfect conditions. Currents were in our favour both ways!
