Ladysmith Paddle - June 29 Report
It was a very hot day (27 degrees) and there were 22 souls that decided to brave the heat. We set off at the usual time and made way for the gap between the Woods Islands. On our way we passed the marker for the 49th parallel.
When we got through the gap, we came across not just huge log booms (which we were expecting), but also a few boom boats that were actively pushing and sorting logs, to the left and right and it seemed everywhere.
So, not trusting the logs to remain calmly in place, we decided to backtrack and go around the front of the Island. It was a little shadier along that shore. At the tip of the island there were submerged rocks that a couple of us got stuck on. It took a bit of teamwork to free the 1st kayak and a second kayaker got stuck but managed to free himself. Eventually we came across more logs, but managed to tuck in behind Dunsmuir Island, which is owned by the Seattle Yacht Club.
