Contents
Location
In Howe Sound, directly between Lions Bay and Gambier Island, about 3.5 km offshore.
Planning
- The 257 Horseshoe Bay Express bus leaves from Burrard & Georgia approximately every half hour.
- Transfer from Marine Drive and Nelson (just before the ferry terminal) to a C12 Lions Bay (leaving every hour, so that's the bottleneck).
- Walk to beach.
- Inflate and launch kayak.
- The low tide at Point Atkinson and Squamish is 14:15, so it will be close to turning and not a strong cross-current
- A strong wind warning is issued for Howe Sound. It's 11 kts now, and the forecast is 15 to 25 knots near noon, then diminishing so what we see when we get there we expect to diminish. I think we'd be kind of sheltered by Bowen & Gambier, as well.
