Monica, Jenny and I paddled out to d'Arcy Island from Island View Beach for an overnight camp. We had beautiful calm conditions and the camp site to ourselves. Bill and Heather paddled out later to join us. I tried to paddle back to IVB to meet them, but somehow missed them completely – hard to believe one can miss kayakers crossing such a calm section of water! On Sunday morning I paddled out to Kelp reef – to see all the weather station gear – and there was quite a current. The paddle back was uneventful and pleasant, by way of Little d'Arcy and Sallas rocks. On the trip we saw porpoises, raccoons, eagles, guillemots, oyestercatchers, rhinoceros auklets and seals. jenny and I paddled the Passat G3 and Monica paddled the Shadow.
41.4 km, 22 NM, YTD 405 km.
My/Our track – you can see I was going pretty fast on the way to kelp reef – over 13 kph!
