Today I took advantage of lack of wind and went for a 13km paddle in the Nanoose bay area.  Leaving the beach access near Madrona Point, I headed out to Mistaken Island, went around the back of it and headed straight to Dorcas Point. passing several beached seals enjoying the warm April sun. Jazz musician Diana Krall has a mansion right above this point; it was something to behold! From here I continued along the coast towards the recently acquired municipal park - Moorecroft.  The tide was high enough to let me slip into its lagoon.  As i was leaving the lagoon I had a VERY large Sea Lion surface about 20 ft in front of me.  He stopped to get a better look at me.  He was not frightened by my presence to say the least! From here I headed straight across the channel to Gerald Island.  This lovely little island is covered in wildflowers, and I was happy to spot Camus, Phlox, Chocolate Lilies, Lupin, Lilac bushes and even cactii plants.  From here it was a straight paddle back to my starting point. A great day of training for my upcoming paddle - a great day just to be on the water!
