I will be joining two visitors from Australia for two back-to-back trips on the dates listed in the topic.  (You may may have seen a post here from Sam a few weeks ago.  Search the forum for “Sam North” to find it.)  Since there are just the three of us, we’re offering places for one or two more people to join us on one or the other of the trips, or both.  (Clark Perry-Bater may be joining us for the second one.)

For the first trip, we will travel to Telegraph Cove on July 16 and then launch from there on July 17 to explore the Johnstone Strait/Broughton Archipelago area.  On July 21 we will return to Telegraph Cove and camp there or nearby.  (If you want to join us for just the first trip, you could head home on the 21st.)  The next day, July 22, we will drive to Port Hardy and head out towards God’s Pocket and beyond.  (If you want to join us for just the second trip, you’d need to meet us near Telegraph Cove on the afternoon or evening of July 21.)  On July 28 we will return to Port Hardy and on July 29 we will head back to Nanaimo and the ferry home.

We plan to change campsites most nights to maximize the area we can cover but will probably spend two nights at least one campsite each trip.  Distances travelled each day will vary, based on the weather, how people are feeling, etc. but we expect to cover somewhere between 6 and 12 nautical miles most days.  Both trips are most suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers who are able to handle trips in the 3B to 3C range, although much of our paddling should be in easier waters.

If you are interested, please get in touch with me as soon as possible, either by replying here or emailing me at georgepr@telus.net.  I’m leaving for a week-long trip Saturday morning, returning the evening of Friday, July 8, and it would probably be best if you’re able to contact me before I leave.

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.
