Hi Mike!

Eva & Dermot here.

Super interested in the Nov 14th class, please count both of us in!

We even acquired balaclavas in the meantime, so we could try to turn our boats until they’ll turn no more… and still have our brains only half frozen 😉

Hi everyone,

There is still 1 spot available for the Strokes Clinic tomorrow afternoon beginning at 1:00 PM.  Would love to teach to a full class.  All monies paid for this clinic go directly to SKABC.

Even though it is late in the season, if there is interest, I will post another clinic for the morning of Saturday, Nov. 14th beginning at 9:00 AM.  It will be two hours focussing on turning strokes.  Once again, it will be offered for $25.00 and all fees go, once again, to the club.  But I want to know there is interest before putting it up for registration.  Let me know.  Let’s do some paddling!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for an LV plastic boat to learn to play in rocks and surf.
So far, I’ve been looking at the Valley Avocet LV, P&H Delphin 150, Daggar Stratos 14.5S.
Anyone have anything in the garage that they would be interested in selling?

Cheers,

Miranda

Model : Chesapeake Lt 16′ 10″
Cockpit size: 31″x 17″
Beam: 23 in.
Hull Weight: 45 lbs.
Max Payload: 300 lbs.
Paddler Weight: 160 – 220 lb

Chesapeake is built to endure a lifetime of strenuous touring with 4mm-Okoume plywood hulls and decks, both sheathed with fiberglass. Watertight bulkheads are standard, as are hatches, deck rigging, adjustable footbraces, and a comfortable seat.

In a nutshell, the Chesapeake 17LT is a terrific all-round sea kayak, combining stability and cockpit comfort with above-average speed.

Asking $1,700.00 OBO

The CLC Shearwater Sport offers the perfect combination of lightweight, sharp West Greenland handling, effortless cruising speed, and an extra-large cockpit for comfort.

Watertight bulkheads and flush-mounted deck hatches are standard, so many builders go camping in their Shearwater Sports.

Both Kayaks were built in my garage last winter 2018-19. the one with the Saple (darker wood) was only used once on Powell Lake. Since building these two, I have built three more Stitch and Glue kayaks, and I am running out of room to store them. Each kayak cost about $2000 Canadian for materials,( freight and US exchange)included. Approximately 100 hours labour for each Kayak.Willing to sacrifice at materials cost in order to make space. For more information check out Chesapeake Light Craft at http://www.clcboats.com  “Shearwater Sport”

Asking $1,700.00 each

Planning an afternoon paddle January 1st, 2021 for the annual “Roll in the New Year”.

This is a fun paddle.  You do not need a “roll” to come on it – just enjoy watching those of us who do get wet.  Find a silly hat or top to wear to make your New Year’s statement (tops should fit over your drysuit – brrrrr)!

No idea at the moment if any of the usual Polar Bear swims will be taking place due to Covid but I imagine, even if not, individuals will be going in.

So just asking for suggestions as to where members would like to paddle if they are interested in joining this.  Obvious choice is English Bay (put in at Vanier Park).  But if you have some other ideas let me know.  Majority rules but if you vote you have to come on the paddle!  Only fair…

Oh yeah…all of us now know how kayakers can go for a paddle together and still keep Covid protocols in place so everyone stays safe.  So consider getting your warm butts chilled a bit and come out for a paddle with us New Years day.  Will await input before organizing and putting up on the trips board.

Happy B-Day Susan!

Join Mike Gilbert this Sunday afternoon to have a pleasant, leisurely paddle through the Ladner Marsh area. Great opportunity to meet Mike and discuss trips for next year. Bring your kayak and all your necessary gear. Drysuit or wet suit (bring towel & dry bag with dry clothes) along with snacks & water. Trip topic: Keeping track of where you are! Only room for 6. Year is closing…C’mon…Get out and get paddling!  When was the last time you ever paddled with salt-water beavers??  No promises…Should be up on the trips calendar shortly.  Contact Mike if you have any questions:  mgilbert1600@gmail.com
