Description	A winter solstice paddle – weather permitting – to mark the change of seasons. We will paddle familiar territory and circumnavigate the waters in and around Heriot Bay. I.e. Put in at Rebecca Spit, paddle along the Spit and cross over towards Open Bay then veer to the west into Hyacinthe Bay, follow the shore southwards around Heriot Island, the harbour area and then cross from Taku to the boat launch. That’s estimated to take 2 hours so we could take a break at the Len Rd Beach (tide will be near high). If its a nice day – finish off with a fire and lunch at the Spit; If not so nice…lunch at Heriot Bay Inn.
Meeting Place	Rebecca Spit boat launch at 0930
Departure Time	1000 on the water
Difficulty	Easy if the weather is benign
Costs	Lunch
Trip limits	None
Dogs?	No
Notes:	Bad weather alternate day – Monday, December 22. All paddling guidelines apply. Winter paddling requires another layer or two and an effective paddling jacket/ raincoat.
