It was January 2nd and a beautiful clear sunny winter day. Tony was thinking about buying a kayak and they wanted to try ours out. Paula and Tony planned to each buy a kayak eventually. Last summer they paddled our double with us. After that paddle, they commented that two singles would be more fun.
Most people seem to prefer singles over doubles.
Last time they were out we launched at the Ladysmith Boat Ramp and paddled around Woods Islands and the Manana Lodge area. With a two-hour drive for them, I wanted to launch from somewhere nearby. Also, it was January 2nd and weather conditions could change quickly. We settled on Evening Cove, a regional park located between Ladysmith and Yellow Point. This is my favourite and most often used launch site.
