Tsawwassen boat launch

[All handz on dek]

Seeking Advise to see is this boat launch is open, thinking of accessing 29-6 for the sockeye bounty

Thanks

I thought it was closed for the season/reconstruction.

Last I herd was that it was closed until Sept sometime. But I can't confirm that as that was a long time ago, I herd that and I haven't been out that way in a long long time

I'll be at the ferry tomorrow. I'll try to sneak a peek and post from the Ukee condo. Won't have time to stop and read any signage.

The boat launch was still closed as of last week. However, if you have a smaller boat, you can just launch off the beach. I've done it and have seen others do it. You will need a 4wd vehicle, knowledge of the tides and maybe a few guys to move some driftwood out of the way. I wouldn't launch a boat that is on a tandem axel trailer because it would be too hard to pull out of the water since the beach is made up of loose rocks, but anything smaller shouldn't be a problem.

Also, i believe 29-6 is closed to all salmon fishing

Two boats launching on the beach at high tide. The ramp is nowhere near done.

The ramp is scheduled to open on Aug 22.

what are you launching from there? FWIW, the launch at Wellington Point is free and will put you in right at the head of Canoe Pass, which on a decent tide a smaller boat can get through. Spits you out at T-14.

Though, for my money I'd just whip up Sea reach and head out through Sandheads. Keep the red buoys on your right, and stay well south of S-0, you won't have a problem getting out there. IME The big standing waves of Sandheads tends to be in a triangle of S1 (Green Bell) S-2 and the Sandheads light.

Anyone know if this ramp is open again? how does the restoration work look?

Its been open for a month or so. Big storm yesterday so there might be alot of logs and rocks in the way

I drove by today and the beach is a mess. There's drift wood everywhere and the ramp is blocked by drift wood. It's a little bumpier and muddier than usual so you can have some fun if you have a 4wd vehicle. My Pathfinder made it all the way to the end easily.
