Location

Between Saanich Peninsula, and Salt Spring Island.

Participants

  • Elbie, with a bike trailer containing, amazingly enough, a kayak.

The Plan

  • 13:00 - ferry leaves Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay
  • 15:00 - arrive at the public boat launch on Lands End Road, at the northern tip of the Saanich Peninsula
  • hopefully 15:30 - get on the water
  • hopefully 16:30 - get to the hashpoint
  • 18:00 - start packing up kayak, head back to the ferry terminal
  • 19:00 - ferry leaves Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen

Expedition

Abridged: I biked, I bussed, I ferried, I biked some more, then I kayaked, got there, paddled back, biked some more, ferried, bussed, and then biked home.

Proper writeup pending.
