      Ron and Helmi McHenry:
      The two of us have a fair amount of kayak experience on South Okanagan lakes even in rougher water. We have sea streamlined kayaks with rutter. We would love to do some kayaking on west coast waters. Can we take this course to skip basic ?Thanks, ROn and Helmi

      Hi Nick…I am withdrawing my request for a place on the Southern Gulf Islands trip.
      I’m not in 3C shape, and had not realized it had put me on while I was looking at it.
      So sorry as It is a trip we had talked about 3 years ago before COVID started.
      Thank you for organizing it and hope to get in better shape this summer after ski season.
      Ciao Nancy Flexman

      It means there is a current flowing (caused by tidal action) in the same direction that we are going. That’s better than the contrary! They’ll be quite weak – around 1 kt mostly.

      What does “current assist” mean? Something to do with water currents? or what?

      Because of a clash with BCMT’s Board meeting I’ll be unable to join this meeting. However, I’d like to offer some trips.
      My dates are flexible. All are tentative. I have found that overnight trips in Spring are not popular and some have been cancelled in past years due to low participation/competition with our training courses.
      SKABC have not announced dates for various other events such as building tent platforms, so these could also clash and one or other event re-scheduled.
      1) Thormanby I 2B camping 3 nights 7 – 10 Apr
      2) S Gulf Is Tour car free 3C camping 6 nights 25 Apr – 1 May
      3) Pitt Lk 2C weekend camping 1 night 18 – 19 June
      4) Gambier SW Private Cabin 3B camping 2 nights 15 – 17 July
      5) Galiano circumnav 3C camping 4 nights 12 – 17 Sept
      6) Harrison R 1B day Oct

      Thank-you to all the people who put their time and talents into the club. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts because of you.

      Follow-up to earlier question. The last image looks like Lund to me. Correct? Captions would be nice but maybe are hard to add.

    16. Nick Heath says:
      September 22, 2021 at 10:27 am

      Nice! Are these images all of Middle Copeland rather than of the site to the N??

    17. Nick Heath says:
      September 22, 2021 at 9:39 am

      Sorry about cancelling, but other similar paddles leaving from Cates Pk have still spaces./Nick

      September 19, 2021 at 9:49 pm

      As long as the conditions are relatively calm, I should be able to launch and land as usual but I am trying to recuperate from a broken wrist, so may need assistance at landing. Looking forward to this, I’ve missed almost the whole summer.

    19. Allan Edwin says:
      September 13, 2021 at 6:39 pm

      Nicely written Nick. You covered all the bases for anyone wanting to do this trip.

      Hi SKABC. I was on the Gambier trip with Nick Heath 4to 6th Aug . The participants of that trip were saying that facilitators of the rescues practice would like some help to assist folk through rescues . I am proficient with rescues and practiced many this year. . I would be happy to participate in a rescue practice session and to assist with coaching . Unfortunately I am already busy for the 21 Aug . Please give me heads up if any more rescue sessions are on the horizon and I would be happy attend. Thanks. Sarah Cummins 604 786 7191

      Hi,
      I would like to join this course, if possible. I bought myself a kayak a month ago – and have been going on day-trips two to three times a week since I bought it. I have been paddling now and then in borrowed or rented kayaks since I was a child but I have never taken any lessons. I would love to join this course. I am particularly interested in route planning and navigation techniques. I know how to read a map (orienteering) but have only looked over the shoulder on sea charts… I would also like to know more about equipment care. I feel rather fumbly and not sure what’s important and not.
      My phone number is 604 306 9900.
      Thanks
      Gunilla

    34. Stuart McIntyre says:

      Hi, my name is Stuart, Stu, McIntyre. I arrived in Vancouver about four weeks ago and would love to join you guys in any training and any paddles you think suitable. I havent kayaked for a year more, really due to Covid..
      I haven’t had any formal training, but I did enter the Devizes to Westminster canoe race and completed 76 miles.
      However, since then I’ve done very little fitness etc.
      I think it would make sense for me to join the beginners session and learn to roll as I’ve done this formally.
      If you get any cancellations I can join you at short notice, but I don’t have a kayak yet, so would need to rent / borrow one for the session. My cell number is 6043765303.
      Thanks very much. Stu

      It was a fantastic weekend all around. It gave me a real lift to see everyone who came out to share the experience — members old and new. We had just about the full menu of paddling conditions, to everyone’s delight. Thank-you all for the amazing pictures and company. I look forward to seeing you all again on the next trip!

      Thanks to Mike Gilbert for a clear explanation of proper use of modern VHF radios.
      I learned a lot. As someone who is new to the Kayaking community as well as VHF radios, I appreciate the opportunity to participate.

      Wow – this filled up fast!

      I recently read Adventures in Solitude by Grant Lawrence recently. It’s a fun read and talks about the history of the area. Highly recommended and is available if anyone wants to borrow it.

      If anyone wants to carpool I’ll b driving from Kitsilano and can pick you up if you’re on the way. I can take 3 paddlers.

    63. Lorraine Sharpsteen says:
      February 23, 2020 at 12:23 pm

      I enjoyed the campsite we had last year (#4?) because it was a bit separated from the other sites.

    64. Allan Edwin says:
      February 3, 2020 at 11:09 pm

      The forecast for Sunday is sunshine, so I am planning to bring my boat out to go paddling after the meeting. I welcome any club members who want to come along 🙂

      I posted a weekend Oct 14/15 for inspecting the Howe Sd sites. This could be considered, in part, a conservation activity. However, I agree that a separate activity is better.
      I guess this will not be part of the Gt Canadian Shoreline Cleanup? There is merit in being included in that nation -wide effort.
      The challenge is to find a kayak-accessible site that is not being cleaned by anyone else (parks multiplicities)and is not too remote. Then the next challenge is getting out the material if there is too much for a kayak, which there usually is. I’m willing to help with my skiff.
      I suggest the S end of Pitt Lk.

      We enjoyed Tantulus so much last week, the bear box was a much needed addition that is critical for groups.

      Now I am considering next time visiting a campsite to bring a 5 gallon pail, wood toilet seat, toilet arrow sign and some tools to make a movable loo. Maybe we could discuss sometime at a upcoming meeting. Due to the gov’t hands being tied by cost/enviro regulations perhaps there are some simple ways we could keep people away from going immediately upstream of the water sources.

    77. Rita Buchwitz says:

      thank you Nick! you are most dedicated member i know to maintaining these sites!
