March 2nd 2008 - Discovery Island (#9)

Dan, John, Heike, Gary and I set out from cadboro Bay around 0930 in beautifully calm conditions. We paddled out across Baynes Channel in slack waters and there was just enough water to allow us to visit “cactus” island. We continued on clockwise around Discovery Island and had lunch near the SW tip. We met Ken and Alfons there and had a very relaxed “summer in February” break there. After lucnh we paddled over to the Chain Islets, through Oak Bay Marina and then along the shore past Willows Beach and Cattle Point. After Oak Bay we experimented with in line towing and switching positions in the line. By the third time we seemed to have a workable system based on the recent Sea Kayaker article. The paddle was finished with some “Race Rocks” at the Smugglers Cove – where we met Gordin!
