| Shark Spit, Marina Island to Octopus Islands: 18.3 nautical miles |
Lightening Storm! It started when I
was making dinner. I got my tarp up and it turned out to be just
some light rain. The first, not totally benign weather of the trip.
There are mosquitoes here to – grr.
I had a nice day of paddling. I feel like I am making good time so far, though I've barely begun. I am tired but feeling positive. I saw Harbour Porpoises this morning.
Today brought back many early paddling
memories. Ten years ago, I did the Coastal Adventure Tourism program
at North Island College and we did our first overnight trip in Surge
Narrows which I paddled through today. The following summer I got my
first assistant guiding job working in this area for the company
Coastal Spirits. Even earlier, probably around the year 2000, Mark
Willms and I did an overnight kayaking trip here, a first for both of
us. I believe I am camped on the same island as on that occasion.
Tomorrow, I am moving into new
territory. The adventure builds.
