Hello Alistair,

I believe you are our only UK member. I guess you are planning a big expensive trip for 2022? Let’s hope travel restrictions will allow this to happen.

The triple rapid of the Yucultas is a key part of the Inside Passage route and, although it can be avoided, I consider it to be the preferred route between Johnstone Strait and the Strait of Georgia.

I know of only one current club member, Rick Davies, who has made the N-S transit by kayak. That was many years ago, although little will have changed here in the interim.

I did it in a power boat last year to check sites for overnight stops. This was part of my other volunteer role as Site Data Manager for BC Marine Trail Network Assn. I assume you are familiar with this organization and its web map?

I have  quite a lot of info, which I am v happy to share, so  email me preferably with specific questions, please, at treasurer2   at   skabc.org

Hi, I am planning kayaking through the Yuculta rapids from North to south, in July/ August this  year. Has anyone got personal experience of doing this and can offer me any good advice?

For those not afraid of the cold, there is a new trip on Saturday January 15th: Ambleside to Eagle Harbour (2C)

Hope you guys can make it!

Along the same lines, I came across this online course about invasive species in the Metro Van area.

Late the the party on this topic.

Just pulled the pin on the juniper drysuit GK0169-B3

I will give  report back on how it handles in a kayak and comfort levels.

The zipper system is indeed way different from other dry suits I have seen.

I came across this free training session put up by BC Wild Life Federation (BCWF) help to protect wet lands. If anyone interested please sing up.

A few of us embraced the cold and ventured to paddle last Saturday to Silver Falls. It wasn’t that cold, but we’ve got a bit of wind and rain on the way back.

Thanks to Ted and Philip for leading the trip, we had a great time 🙂

Here’s a video I put together.

Mike, Please let me know I am interested. I live in Calgary but my sister lives in Victoria. I have a Trak kayak and tried one couple of these paddles in the summer. My paddling partner bought and used one a surf camp we did in Tofino.  Our instructor also had one with the bag.

 

sincerely;

Tish

Hi and sorry for the stupid question. Can’t call you atm. Is it still available? Do you have racks or is it possible to bring mine? Dimensions are 48x24x21, there are 3 similar to the model in this review – https://rackadvisor.org/best-kayak-storage-rack/#product2 

All the best!

For those looking for a new greenland paddle and have not seen the sale ad, I have put my stock GEARLAB paddles on sale at 20% off their regular price.  The KALLEQ…the AKIAK…and the MALIK…are all brilliantly priced for placement under the Christmas tree.

These are the lowest prices we give on these paddles and the “In time for Christmas” Sale happens only once a year.  Contact Mike Gilbert if this may be of interest.  mgilbert1600@gmail.com or 778-835-0774

The sale ends December the 11th.  Cheers and good Christmas to all.

Hi,

There are still two spots available for this Saturday December 11 trip to Silver Falls!

Anybody interested, have a look at the trip’s page.

It’s going to be chilly but it’s going to be fun 🙂
