Former MemberHey people. Jayne is a great paddling partner. There is plenty of paddling season left in 2021.
Bumping this topic back up to the top.
Former MemberKarin’s group is now fully booked. If there is any interest in a 3rd group, please let me know.
Former MemberThank-you Devi for your photos. Did you make it to Bain Creek? It is on the other side of the mill, a little further than you are in your photo. It’s a beautiful site and has a composting outhouse put up by the club.
Devi DesabhatlaHi all
At 69..for me , the waters are too cold to paddle, so its pack up time.
But I did have a lot of fun over summer: mostly Howe Sound off Port Mellon.
Couple of images attached.
The one with the HSPP Mill… some say its unsightly.. I respond.. think of the jobs it provides to many on the Sunshine Coast.My view of course.!
I like the contrast.. industrial with natural beauty.
Cheers all and happy paddling in 2022.


Former MemberHello friends!
September is now half over and many are already packing their paddling and camping gear away. If that is you, would you be willing to drop me an email and some photos about your paddling adventures this year?
It is looking like we may have to have another virtual year-end party and I would like to get started on composing a year-end video.
If you are still out paddling, your photos and video are welcome too!
My email address is: allan [dot] edwin [at] gmail [dot] com
Cheers!
Rick DaviesI’ll be there for the BBQ
Thank you

I will be available this coming Thursday or Friday then mainly on weekends. Give me a call at 604 521 0301 or email me jh99155@gmail.com.
Nick HeathThks for sharing, Sarka. Nice photos! I’m interested in what you thought of Read Point East (undeveloped Prov Park site) and any of the smaller sites you visited. Did you record a gps track?

– Thwaytes Landing (3B)The Twin Islands group is now full (there is a waiting list in the comments there). Is there anyone willing to lead a 2nd group? Please let us know!
We are hosting a BBQ for members afterwards and hope to see you all there.
Former MemberThanks Sarka,
Sorry your trip didn’t go quite as planned, but looks like you managed to have a nice trip.
Hopefully, we won’t be hampered by any commercial groups this late in the season.
Good to know there are options in case of bad weather.
Looking forward to possible humpback sightings.
BTW – Allan provided some tips on my circumnavigation in the General Discussion Forum – he is omnipresent!
Thanks

Thanks. Kapila
Kirsten HathawayInteresting thread. Chantal Ethier last season introduced me to the idea of buying unused wine bags from winemaking businesses. AMAZING!!
Affordable, efficient, reusable, no aftertaste and they pack down really well after they are depleted.
