Dan, Heike, John, Tony and I set out from Killarney for a paddle out to Chatham and Discovery Islands. The forecast was for Gales later in the day, so we had our eye on the weather but these did not materialize until late in the day (after our paddle! it gusted at up to 74 kph around 5 PM) Conditions were good and we spent quite a bit of time poking arouond various coves that were accessible at high tide. The tide was high all day, so much so that the lichens were under water in some places. There were a few nice currents in some of the channels and we also played in those. The current did not create any significant waves but gave us a good push from 10 Mile Point to Strongtide – we stayed at over 10 kph the whole trip over!
