I am planning a trip that needs to go through Seymour narrows/ripple rock. Any suggestions to how I should approach this area? I have some kayak experience however I have never been in this location. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Longwing.
 
I have put some info about Discovery Passage & Seymour Narrows at

What a wonderful, detailed, and researched report. Quite remarkable. Amazing.
 
Al, that information is a guidebook. It needs publishing, whether on paper or as a PDF document. I'm serious.

A glance at the tracks in those two links boggles the mind. Methinks you are on a first name basis with a good fraction of the molecules of water which have passed through those two areas.
 
Thanks for the comments.
Maybe I'll expand the area covered into a guidebook, or maybe someone else will.

For now the idea is to present an alternative to the fearmongering that surrounds Discovery Passage & Seymour Narrows..
Campbell River has some excellent paddling, but it is not well known.
 
Holy Buckets, Alan! What a great resource you have put together.
