Tony, Gordin, George, Paulo, Simon and I made an earlyish start (9AM OTW) setting out from Cadboro Bay for a very nice day’s paddle around Chatham Island. Visited a colleague, Douglas on his sailboat, had a nice lunch break looking out at the freighters on the south side of Discovery. I was testing out some new greenland paddles…

I was quite suprised to see how many visits there have been as well as their sources…
Mike, George, Kent, Paolo, Dennis and I headed out early from Amherst (8:30 OTW) and paddled around Portland Island. We stopped for “brunch” on the northeast corner of Portland – just after a student group from SMUS left. The day was damp on and off, but the predicted winds never materialized. We ran into another SMUS group when we returned to Amherst. I paddled the wisper and it performed well – needed the skeg in the morning though.

Well, I finally made it to my 1000 km goal – 4 months ahead of schedule!
Paulo and I set off from Island View Beach to paddle around Sidney. The paddle was uneventful but very nice. There was a bit of current and wind, but nothing significant. We kept up a good pace with a few stops (every 5 miles or so) and made it to 16 miles.
I got Paulo to take a photo at the 1000 km mark and I reciprocated.
MJ makes it to 1000 km! 
Paulo assists!
