About Brown's Bay Marina
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 9°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The sea is about 7°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in July, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Campbell River. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
