With the weather finally changing we took advantage of the warm weekend and went kayaking in Deep Cove, north-east of downtown Vancouver.

All kayaks were rented out but luckily we had reserved our kayaks in advance. Two doubles and two singles.

 

The single kayaks were much more exposed to the waves and felt less stable but they were also faster.

On the double kayaks the person in the back was controlling the rudder. That way it wasn’t necessary to steer with the paddles.

The bigger boats in the cove created a few waves which were great fun to chase and paddle into. We almost got run over by a big ferry which we noticed a little too late.
