Description We will take advantage of a high water day and put in at Esplanade Park for a sunset paddle. We will work our way out to Hyacinthe Bay and, depending on the group’s motivation, to Hyacinthe Pt, take a peak into Open Bay and then beeline back to Esplanade Park/Gov’t Dock. Once on shore and packed up, head to the HBI for beverages (and food if we make it before the kitchen closes at 9:00pm).
Meeting Place Esplanade Park (Antler Rd)
Departure Time 1800 ON THE WATER
Difficulty Easy if the weather is benign
Costs Parking?
Trip limits The more the merrier
Dogs? No
Notes: Have an early supper at home and/or bring a snack. The aim is to be on the water at 6:00 pm. Sunset is at 8:55 pm.
We will put in at low tide (3.5 m) which isn’t very low and take out on a rising tide. Shore access should be easier than a normal low tide.
