Sabine channel does get some wind and currents to 2 knots – so if you’re concerned, time your crossing and check the weather.
Otherwise it’s just 1 1/2 kilometers directly across and there are places to be in some shelter as you make up your mind in doing that crossing. Partington Point north and especially South on Texada Is are  great places to mark some time if you have to while deciding what the heck to do.

Has anyone paddled from Texada (or the Sunshine Coast) to Jedediah?  Any advice?

Necky Elaho Kayak for sale. Fibreglass sea kayak. 16 feet long. Excellent condition. Have taken it on a few multi-day tours off the coast of Vancouver Island and it has been a treat to paddle. Has a hard chine so is fun in the waves too!

Thanks for the replies! I camped there Friday night and there were kayaks everwhere: in the water, up the ramp in the woods, on the dock, basically wherever they would fit. Since everyone was taking the risk of leaving their kayaks unlocked and unattended, it gave me a great false sense of security (haha!), I slept like a baby, and paddled out the next day. I did keep my paddles and other pricier items at my campsite though.

Hi Anna,

It is a 14nm paddle. We are camping so will need time to pack up in the morning, but will leave as soon as we are ready. We should be back late afternoon, but as the group is unknown, it is very hard to estimate.

It will be lovely to see you again if you decide to come’

🙂

Every single year, for the last 3yrs- we usually just left our kayaks on the dock without locking or bringing it to the top leading (by  the washroom) as i can’t carry it due to shoulder issues. But this past June, someone move our kayaks to the top landing in the middle of the night. It was early morning when I found out and it was not the greatest feeling (I mean, nothing compared if it was stolen). Lesson- lock your kayak! But be weary that during peak time- it can get really busy and get packed with group campers due to proximity to deep cove so if you can carry it to the top landing- pls do so to reserve spots for those who can’t. Happy kayaking!

[Quirine Schuyff]

When we brought our kayaks there we brought them up onto the slope right by the dock. There wasn’t much room on the dock as people were sitting everywhere.

I gather these Twin Islands are the ones  near Belcarra.  However, there is another set of Twin Islands off the coast of Cortes Island in the northern part of the Strait of Georgia. They are where the Queen used to stay when she took a day off on her tours of BC.  However, her German cousin who owned them, sold them to Mark Torrance from Seattle. He does NOT want people camping on the islands and has remote cameras hidden all over the islands so that the caretaker can keep an eye on what is happening. They make a nice day paddle from the Copeland Islands just north of Lund. Sometimes groups can stay at the big lodge for a price. I once stayed there as part of a Misty Isles Adventures trip so I know it is well set up and pricey.  Torrance has his own power system run from solar panels and also his own internet which he sells to people on Savary and Cortes. It’s called twincom.
