December 23rd - Discovery Island (#98)

I paddled out to Cadboro Point where I met up with Paulo, Dan and Leslie for a paddle around the islands. Conditions were excellent with good views of Mt Baker and glimpses of the peak of Mt Rainier. The winds were less than predicted and the current did not cause too much hard paddling! I had to ferry a bit to cross Baynes channel on the return. I saw a good number (25) of bird species on the trip including quite a few ancient murrelets (one of my favourites - they are so cute!) in the middle of Baynes (both ways): https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S77900201
