As Far As The Mind Can See

 

What to Expect

Tours require about 4 hours of time including a half hour of gearing up, instruction, launch time, and about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of unhurried paddling in quiet inlets and bays. Expect lovely scenery, relaxed time, perhaps the sight of a seal, osprey, or eagles, terns, ducks, or even a deer at water's edge.

Temperatures on the water can be very cool compared to ambient temperature on land. So do wear a long sleeved shirt, bring that extra layer or windbreaker, wear long trousers (preferably not cotton), and shoes or sandals you do not mind getting wet. There may be weather changes including a touch of light rain or even fog. All can enhance the trip in magical ways. The rain may present the gift of a rainbow to frame your vista. A gentle fog can add mystery to the magic of being on the water.

Our guide will safely negotiate challenges and make decisions based on factors at hand. Conditions determine where we paddle. For example, there are locations clear - even when there is dense fog on elsewhere on the Peninsula.

Simply expect a safe journey and quality time on the water.
