Yesterday we put our paddle boards in at Lewis Park in Courtenay and paddled upstream to investigate the seal and salmon interactions which occur this time of year. We certainly were not disappointed ..we saw 3 seals chasing another one with a salmon in its mouth. The water depth varies in the river in this area but often it is just 6 to 8 feet deep so you can see all the action below the surface due to the clear water. We put in at the swimming steps in Lewis Park and you want to go at a tide of 4 meters or more ideally. Check it out over the next few days while the weather is still very pleasant for this sort of outing. See you on the water.
