We started the paddle at Horne Lake under blue skies and calm waters. 16 kayaks and 18 paddlers made their way heading south of the boat launch,

Cedar to DeCourcy Island Paddle Report - August 11
The weather cooperated – the sun shone at times, winds were light and 17 PGOSA paddlers experienced the magic of a new location and some gorgeous rock formations as well as some beautiful scenery. This was a paddle to remember and do again next summer so more can enjoy the experience.
Two downers were hiking back up the steep boat ramp to get to vehicles so people could load their kayaks and the swarming wasps at the tombolo beach where we stopped for a quick lunch. I do mean quick as the wasps drove us back to our boats or to stand in the water as they came after us and the food we brought.
The excursion started at the Cedar Boat launch just south of Nanaimo.
