Small boat launch site at Rocky Point in the north end of Nanaimo, BC, with view across Georgia Strait to Coast Range.
It lives up to its name, rocky as it is, but isn't too bad to walk upon. The high tide often comes up to a bit beyond where the log is. A few days after this was taken I arrived back in my kayak well after dark. I had done so many times before without problems but something was different this time. I went by without recognizing the site in the dark. Very soon I had the feeling of having gone too far though so turned around and came back hugging the shore. It wasn't till the kayak gently touched bottom that I could make out the small log upright in the larger one and know that this was the right place. (Thanks kids, whoever you are). It was a very dark night so with the bioluminescence it made for a good light show and interesting paddling if not so good for finding your landing site.
