Discovery Island, May 7th (#22)

Paolo,Craig, Tony, Dennis, John, Susan and I set off in light rain from Cadboro Bay in the morning and paddled out to Chatham Islands. W decided to go around Discovery Island too. We ran into Mark, Darren and Carolyn who had camped over on Rudlin Bay. We had lunch in a nice protected cove just north of the Discovery light station. While we were eating, the sun came out and the wind picked up (as forecasted, though stronger than we had expected). This made the trip back to Cadboro Bay a bit of a slog – the wind was strong enough that many of us had trouble pointing into the wind. The section from Cadboro point to Flower Island was the toughest. The paddle wrapped up with hot coffee or chocolate at Olive Olios.
