The Lambert Channel
Between our shore and Hornby Island, the ocean is quite often as calm as a lake and ideal for rowing. The crystal clear water around these islands was once described by the famous underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau, as the second best for diving in the world! Whilst out on the water you'll likely encounter curious otters and eagles fishing and nesting in the shoreline trees; if you have the stamina you could row the 2 miles over to Hornby to visit the Ford's Cove Marina or Heron Rocks where seals swim underneath you and if you're lucky, you'll spot a pod of hunting orcas! A longer row North along the Denman shoreline will take you to ​Sandy Island Marine Park (aka Tree Island; aka Bird Island). However, most folk just want to get out on the water and experience the peace, calm and beauty of it all.

Taking the Rowboat Out for an Evening Swim
 
The Weather
Your trip will depend on there being decent weather on the day. If it starts out too windy, it often dies down in the afternoon, and the evening is usually the best time for a calm sea, it not being too hot and there's usually a beautiful light.
Your booking reserves the rowboat for you, but you are not obliged to use it if the weather is bad, or even if you just change your plans. ​Depending on the tides, we may only accept one booking in a day.

Tide Times for Denman Island: You want to try to time your launch for as near to high tide as possible, it can be a long way to carry the boat at low tide, but also check the actual heights, sometimes low tide is quite high...

Launching: A member of staff will bring the equipment and meet you on the beach, to help you carry the boat and get it into the water. Assistance can also be made available upon your return.
Equipment for the Rowboat is kept in the bike shed
