Probus Paddlers - Discovery Passage

The Probus Paddlers launched from Tyee Spit and paddled Discovery Passage to the former pulp mill site at Duncan Bay. This stretch of water is known for its strong currents, but fortunately, slack tides provide a brief window for safe navigation. On the return trip, Brian clocked a ground speed of over 12 km/h, generously assisted by the flood current.  There was plenty to take in along the way: Tyee Club anglers patiently waiting for a strike, chinook salmon leaping near the Campbell River confluence, perfectly aligned kelp beds, and a lively mix of floatplane and marine traffic. It was another fantastic outing for the Club Kayaking Group!

Trip stats: 12.2 km in 2.5 hrs.
