Classification: B3
New date: Wednesday August 29, 2018 until September 1, 2018 (4 nights)
Circumnavigating Valdez requires navigating through Gabriola Passage and Porlier Pass. Both can have large currents, requiring knowledge or skill. We will use our knowledge to read the current tables, do the necessary calculations and paddle through at slack with a favourable turn.
Launch from Cedar and paddle past the sandstone galleries on De Courcy Island to camp on Blackberry point on Valdez. From here it is up to the group to make the decisions.
Distances will not be more than about 10nm per day.
