Dan and I joined Michel, Yves, Dorothea, Patti and Nick (from Scotland) to paddle out around the islands. Dan and I set out a bit earlier and managed to catch some waves in Baynes. We had a deloightful paddle in wonderful conditions. We also got to play a bit in the “sluice” between Vantreight and east Chatham. The wind picked up a bit from the North on the way back as you can see our speed went down quite a bit

"The sluice" is an excellent name for that little passage between Vantreight and Chatham! The bend that goes between Vantreight and Strongtide is where a couple of our paddle group got not-vertical three years ago. We love going through there now at moderate current...
