We start from Schooner Cove and paddle the reefs and tiny islets that dot the waters surrounding Schooner Cove and Willis Point. On our excursion we hope to meet and view harbour seals; sea lions when the season is right; the wonderful cast of migratory birds loitering the rocks; and to be watched over by bald eagles. On the return the sun will set, signalling another satisfying excursion.
