March 11 - Discovery (#15)

Dan, Rob and I went for a morning paddle around the islands. A nice morning with no current and a northerly wind at around 10 knots. Saw one sea lion around Seabird point.

March 6th - Discovery Island (#14)

Dan, Paulo and I went for a nice morning paddle around the islands. I paddled out to Maynard Cove to meet them and we did a big curve to the north to avoid the current in Baynes. We saw a few Steller's sea lions on the rocks at Seabird Point and I saw a flock of long-tailed duck on my return trip. On the way back across Baynes, the current swept me back down past Jemmy Jones! I paid a visit to Natural C-lection at RVYC on the way back.

March 2nd - Discovery Island (#13)

Dan, Paulo and I went for a morning paddle out around the islands. Weather conditions were pretty good (a little drizzle and wind) and I was out of shape after not paddling much for 6 weeks! We saw lots of cormorants (mostly pelagic) and gulls around seabird point, but no sea lions this trip. We tried to recover a crab trap float on Chatham, but it was firmly attached to the bottom! You can see that the ebb current helped us a good deal on the outward journey and not so much on the return!
