September 30th - Sooke (#93)
I went for a short paddle during a break in our department head retreat at the Best western. It was great to get out for a quick breath of sea air! It was fun paddling around and under the docks!

September 26 - Sidney Spit Beach cleanup (#90)
I led a group of 13 other SISKA paddlers to Sidney Spit to do our annual beach cleanup as part of the Great Canadian shoreline Cleanup. Conditions were excellent and we spent about an hour and a half cleaning the spit. There was less sizeable debris this year, but it seemed like there were more small foam pieces - a depressing amount. We gathered about 20 kg in total.

September 21 - Chatham Island (#89)
I paddled out to Cadboro Point and joined Paulo and five others on an evening meetup paddle around Chatham Island. It was a beautiful evening and was topped off by a magnificent view of the wolf on the north shore of Discovery Island. He even howled for us.What a way to celebrate the equinox! It was very atmospheric paddling at dusk on the equinox.

September 19th - Discovery island (#88)
I set out from Cadboro Bay with Reale, Bev and Karina and met up with Suzie and Gerhardt around Flower Island. We decided to check out the "sluice" and then "cactus islet". In Rudlin Bay we ran into Gary and also Jo and Michael who were running two separate PC level 2 courses.
Conditions were great and we had a great paddle.

September 12th - Paddle for health (#86)
I paddled over to Willows Beach early in the morning to help act as a guide for the Paddle for Health event being organized by Don Lowther in support of the BC Childhood Cancer Parents Association. On my way over and back, I paddled with Andrew. Conditions were amazing - calm, and sunny. We had around 90 people involved and close to 60 water craft being paddled. It was great to be involved with this event again.

September 11th - Discovery Island
Dan an I went for a morning paddle around Discover. Conditions were amazingly calm and sunny. The Whidbey Island Growlers (http://www.boeing.com/defense/ea-18g-growler/) were busy again as they seem to have been for the past few weeks. The low rumble was a regfular sound during our trip as were a few blasts from construction in Victoria.

September 10th - Strongtide Islet (#82)
I went for a short paddle between work and dinner on the surfski. It was a beautiful afternoon with great visibility - Mt Rainier 210 km away was visible. I decided to paddle across Baynes for a change and went around Strongtide. It looks like Transport Canada has been around the bay putting notices on non-compliant mooring buoys...

September 5th - Gordon head (#80)
I paddled around Ten Mile Point on my own to meet up with Monica and 12 others on a SISKA paddle, ably led by Michael. Conditions were good and we had the current in our favour each way (tough there was a bit of a wind against us on the way back). You can see the "relaxed" pace of the club paddle compared to my paddle around the point. I caught a ride back with Monica so that I could join the group at Olive Olio's for coffee.
