Watch Fire works from the water ?

I can’t go as I’m away.

Are you putting in at Jericho?
I’ve done this quite a few times. It can be frightening on return when it is dark and boats are going everywhere. My method was to skirt the perimeter towards the west and stay and the north side of the bay for quite a while, as the boats all make there way back to wherever. Then, once it is a bit less hectic, take the route to Jericho.  You will still need to be on high alert and have VERY GOOD lighting. But, once out of the mayhem, it is a lovely time paddling at night.

I personally LOVE being right at the perimeter line to watch! Most of the kayaks and paddle boards hang out right near the Innukshuk area.  It’s a lot of fun paddling between the boats beforehand too.
Have fun and stay safe!

I did this once – many many years ago when companies would still rent kayaks that late.  We had an absolutely horrible experience. It was dark, people were drinking and we couldn’t see any dangers like tow cables etc.  We were right in False Creek and Kits beach area where there were tonnes of small motor boats.

It might have been a lovely experience from Jericho however. We did put bow and stern lights on our kayaks but we felt like sitting ducks or water speed bumps :D. I guess I’m saying I’m not interested :D. But it’s a neat idea right!
