Location

The middle of the Saanich Inlet, but relatively accessible by kayak from Brentwood Bay.

Participants

Wenslayer (and maybe one of his kids too)

Plans

Wenslayer: I plan to rent a kayak in Brentwood Bay, and paddle out to the location. I'll probably leave late morning.

Expedition

[TBD]

Tracklog

[TBD]

Photos

Mill Bay Ferry leaving Brentwood Bay along with me.
A calm place to rest after crossing choppy Coles Bay.
One of about 4 pictures snapped as I drifted through the Geohash coordinate.
Cropped and color-modified picture of above showing I made the coordinates.
Looking south from the Geohash location.
Looking north from the Geohash location (the barren hill is on Saltspring Island).
Senanus Island to my right as I paddled back.
The local tribe appeared to be holding war canoe races.
The Mill Bay Ferry heading out again.
Yours truly
A seal bobbing just outside Brentwood Bay; all I managed to capture was the back of his head.
Relaxing afterwards at the Seahorses Cafe.
Reward for my efforts!
