If you just go for a paddle than you can stop thinking about wanting to go for a paddle.

2019 - Post 9 - PNL Overnighter

Last year our overnighter was cancelled as a club event due to high winds, although some of us did the trip regardless... This past weekend (June 29th and 30th) the weather was perfect and so nine of us drove to Colinet for the put-in and paddled down to Pinchgut.




Once we were in the tickle we pulled up on the shore to have our lunch.





We took our time after filling our bellies and paddled the remaining few kilometres to our campsite.  Tents went up and camp was made ready.  We lounged around for a couple hours and then it was time for supper.





Some people went for a walk but a few of us lounged around some more at the waters edge.  We later gathered up some firewood and as darkness drew near the fire was lit.





We awoke to a beautiful morning.



There was no hurry and we took our time getting breakfast and packing up. 




Once on the water we paddled around the south end of Pinchgut Island and followed it's shore back up into the bottom of the bay.




Per usual, we paddled up the river to the falls where there were a few salmon jumping now and then.




We hung around the falls for a while and then headed back over to the cars.  It was another great PNL overnighter enjoyed by all.
