Hi Clark! Thanks for the kind offer. I’ve never kayaked there, but I hear it’s beautiful. I’m busy for the next few weeks but will probably reach out toward the end of July. Thanks!

Welcome, Claire! Welcome to some of the best sea kayaking the world’s oceans have to offer. I’m on the club executive (outreach and promotions), and I’m a former Paddle Canada Level 1 instructor. If you want to get some day paddles in before you head out on some club trips, I’m free most days, especially for paddles in Indian Arm or Port Moody, since I live in Burnaby. Give me a call if you want – 604-434-2294.

Hello Everyone,

Join me if you have time. Locarno beach to UBC, may visit Red bell buoy if weather permit. It will be interesting to view sea floor features on the way due to one of the lowest tide of the year. Some rescue practices if someone interesting in. Bring lunch, water and sunblock.

Alternate route: Heading East to Kitsilano beach.

OTW 9:30 AM, unload and free parking at the end of Trimble street (near beach) or on street near by.

Back by 2:00PM. Dry suit or Wet suit needed.

Ted Lam.

Is this where folks post stories? I’ll try to rustle up some story(ies).

[Quirine Schuyff]

Hi Claire!

Welcome to the club. Paddling with others on the posted trips is also a great way to learn as well as meet new folks to paddle with. The club often has great on water sessions for rescue practice etc.
Also, the club picnic is a lot of fun in a great location and a nice way to introduce yourself to the group!
Hope to see you on the water soon!

[John Leung]

Welcome to the group.  Hope you will get a chance to be on some of the trips posted.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Claire. I am a beginner kayaker and completed my Basic Sea Skills from Paddle Canada last year. I have a Oru Beach ST kayak that I’ve used for about a year now.

I’m mostly here for the easier trips, but I’m also considering taking a Paddle Canada Level 1 course.

Happy to be here and meet everyone.

Hey Nancy … I am not sure of the age of the boat …  purchased it 2nd hand from the original owner (who purchased it new).   I think Seaward stopped making Navigators 5-10 years ago.   That said, the boat is in very good shape / very new looking.   I am open to reasonable offers.

 

[Nancy More]

Hi Nick,  I am curious about how old the boat is?

[Former Member]

Agreed: it IS deplorable. No, not temporary. This is a neighbourhood defending its exclusivity, in a district that is all about exclusivity. No one there wants attended, visiting vehicles left overnight to tempt thieves and riffraff.

With respect to day-trips, it is possible to park more than 3 hours in nearby Whytecliff Park, but you have to get up pretty early in the morning to get a parking spot most days.

I have also parked on Pilothouse Road, which wends its way around the neighbourhood of Caulfield, just east of Lighthouse Park. I launched from the small dock just down the hill from St. Francis in the Wood, Anglican church. Hardier souls might try the beach access trails in Caulfield Park.
