Next Club Meeting October club meeting via Zoom. Join guest speaker Nathan Slater as he tells stories from his 140 day trip with Sanesh Iver in 2023 paddling from Victoria, BC to Yakutat, Alaska, covering a distance to 1935 nautical miles (3500km). Their journey led them through remote communities, abandoned industrial towns, natural hot springs, and to the base of North America’s largest tidewater glacier. Also at Monday’s meeting: learn more about BC Marine Trails, the organization supporting this journey with their site information. A Zoom link will be posted closer to the time. More about the presentation: Nathan’s Bio: Sanesh is currently off exploring a new dimension to his career as an engineer in Zurich, Switzerland so will not be at the event in-person, but you’ll get to hear his take on the key details of the story! Their journey led them through remote communities, abandoned industrial towns, natural hot springs, and to the base of North America’s largest tidewater glacier. Tune in to hear stories covering the highlights (and some lowlights) from the expedition as well as some tips and trips for planning your own sea kayak expedition. |
