The same essential paddle plan as our four day trip, but we will paddle through Culross Passage. This additional day will give us the opportunity for some hiking in the rolling hills of Culross Passage, as well as a paddle into Long Bay. Our water taxi will pick us up at the north end of Culross, and have us back in Whittier by mid-afternoon.
