Hi   What dates were you considering?

Have you ever thought of kayaking from the Sechart  Lodge?  Given the rainy weather might be a good option. Costs about $150 a day including all meals.

Welcome to the club! Weekly evening paddles at Locarno Beach have just been posted on the Trips List.

Anyone up for a short notice paddle to Brokens?

Anyone interested in paddling on a tandem on this day? I have a double and need help transporting my double from my house to the beach (a 5 minute drive away). Angie

welcome to BC. I spent many years near Lake Superior in MN. Lovely area.
One option is the Jericho Beach Sailing club. They charge $171 plus club membership. I am storing my kayak there. Great way to meet other paddlers. I love in New West so can be tough to get there. But SKABC is planning some paddles out of there. And every Tuesday and Friday their are social paddles.

take care

This beautiful kayak glides through the water with such grace! It’s got good stability while also having good maneuverability. Plenty of space in the hatches for longer trips. Atlantis Wav kayaks are known to be top quality. Feel free to Google reviews! Feel free to view my facebook listing with photos here: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/541015717663154.

Hi Susan

thank you for your offer. I had a look at the map and then did some calculations to see if we could paddle over to see you – it looked possible. There is still a fair bit of planning to do before Ben and I settle on something (the clock is ticking though), so it would be good to stay in touch. Even if we can’t get to Halfmoon Bay in July, we will be back in late October to fly out on 7th November.

I just checked the calendar and see that 7 Nov is the Monday – I had thought I would try and get to a monthly SKABC club night, but looks like that might be too difficult.

I am not sure of posting contact details here – let me know how to share email addresses and I will flick you through my email.

regards

Hi Clark

thank you very much for your very generous offer.

George Prevost had mentioned the Gulf Islands as good paddling but busy in summer, so I leaned more on what he said were his favourite places. However, as I said in my post, we are not fixed on anywhere in particular, as logistics will greatly determine what we end up doing

I think a Zoom meeting would be great. I am at home this weekend – midday here is 7 pm the day before in BC, so if Saturday 7 pm your time works (noon Sunday in Aus), then we could try for that.

I am still working out this forum – how do we exchange email addresses without sharing them with the rest of the world?

regards

Sam

I am just settling into a new work schedule but I plan to be on the water (boat at Jericho) some eves and also weekdays/weekends. I’m just not sure when I will be free yet as I will put in availability tomorrow then find out what shifts are definite….and be on call for casual. So, many times it may be last minute outings. I used to post here when I knew I would be free on an eve so keep your settings so you receive notifications when someone posts a “last minute trip”. Hope to see you on the water!

Hi Betty

Hey there, my name is Betty and I new

to this club and just wanted to reach out how to become active in the club.

I am currently based in Vancouver, but I am come from Prague,Czech republic, lived in Ireland, UK, Scotland and Sydney, Australia where I was a Vice – president of a kayak club at Sydney university. I have leading trips there and did casual paddling as well as paddling on open waters. I would say, I am intermediate paddler with about (2+ years experience)and would love to get back to being active and paddling every week if possible.

I can see the calendar and weeekend trips but are there evenings (or morning) paddles during the week?

Thank you for getting back to me 😉

Cheers, Betty

[Clark Perry-Bater]

G’day Sam and Ben! My name is Clark. I won’t be able to paddle with you, as I injured my right shoulder on a SKABC paddle last fall. Since I’m not able to do any extended paddling right now, you and Ben would be welcome to borrow my and my wife’s Kevlar ocean kayaks (17.5 and 16.5 foot lengths) if you want to paddle anywhere around Vancouver or the Gulf Islands (you can get to the islands on a ferry without a vehicle by wheeling them by hand loaded with your gear on wheels that I can provide). The Gulf Islands aren’t as wild and challenging as the destinations you mentioned, but I have enjoyed many week-long trips through the archipelago (Saltspring, Penders, Saturna, Galiano, Mayne and smaller islands.) If you’re interested, we can do a Zoom call and I can show you the kayaks.
Bye for now, Clark

Hello Paddlers,

I am moving to a condo in two weeks and am in need of a spot to store my 17 ft fiberglass sea kayak somewhere on the north shore (north van, west van, deep cove). I live in Lynn Valley.

A garden spot would be perfectly fine if someone has a nook. I don’t mind paying a stipend either.

Or, perhaps there is somewhere that I could pay to store it and paddle out from there? I’ve called around but have had no luck so far.

I’ve only been back in BC a year, so still getting oriented to all things paddling here (many years spent on Lake Superior). Thanks for any suggestions!
