Itinerary:

Paddle in to a setting sun around the Islands. This evening paddle is great for NOVICE/INTERMEDIATE paddlers. THIS IS NOT A LESSON ON HOW TO KAYAK. .

Participants MUST know how to kayak and be able to maintain a steady pace to be able to stay with the group for a 2 hour paddle. Expect some waves, some situations where you may have to paddle hard to avoid ferries. The guide will watch people as they put in & move around in the harbour - anyone who looks wobbly won't be able to paddle with the group.

Please arrive promptly at 5:50 pm to sign in, change, prepare your boat, and get onto the water. We'll be out on the water at 6:25 PM.

Harbourfront staff will await our return with barbecued hotdogs, burgers, and veggie burgers (suggested donation $2-$3 each). Bring any drinks (non-alcoholic) or snacks that you might want.

For registration purposes, please indicate food (veggie & non). People who have their own kayaks are welcome to meet up with us.

This event must NOT involve any alcohol.

THIS IS A "WEATHER PERMITTING" EVENT. If there is rain or strong winds it will be cancelled. I will be notified at 4:00 pm if the event is to be cancelled - at that point I will send out an email to everyone.
