From club member Mike Gilbert: I am doing a currents clinic for a group of people (primarily SKABC Kayak Club) at Surge Oct. 9, 10, 11 & 12. We are actually staying at Discovery Island Lodge which is always fun.
I have 1 room available for either a single person or a couple (due to a cancellation – this was put out and a list of interested people was made up last December – prior to Covid). So if you are interested in coming let me know.
The cost is $345.00 that covers the cost of 3 nights stay at the lodge.
There will be two instructors and 10 participants for a total of 12 people only.
Each instructor will be attached to half the participants (1:5) – making two groups of 6.
Within each group people will be paired up and responsible for providing appies, dinner & desert on one of the three evenings we are there.
Everyone is responsible for their own breakfasts, lunches and snacks.To confirm your spot payment would be required right away. Let me know if you would like to join in.
For those attending I am also giving a rolling clinic on Sunday October 4th at Sasamat Lake from 9 – noon.
Cheers,

Hello Nature adventure tours in Ucluelet are selling off their fleet. They posted this on FaceBook marketplace.
They have “10 Nimbus single kayaks and 5 Seaward double kayaks.” I asked and the 10 Nimbus singles are all Telkwas. 4 of them are Telkwa Sport, so jump on this if that’s the model you’ve been looking for.
Mike GilbertHi everyone,
I am doing a currents clinic for a group of people (primarily SKABC Kayak Club) at Surge Oct. 9, 10, 11 & 12. We are actually staying at Discovery Island Lodge which is always fun.
Three (3) spaces have opened up due to cancellations (this was put out and a list of interested people was made up last December – prior to Covid). So if you are interested in coming let me know.
The cost is $345.00 that covers the cost of 3 nights stay at the lodge.
There will be two instructors and 10 participants for a total of 12 people only.
Each instructor will be attached to half the participants (1:5) – making two groups of 6.
Within each group people will be paired up and responsible for providing appies, dinner & desert on one of the three evenings we are there.
Everyone is responsible for their own breakfasts, lunches and snacks.I expect the last 3 spots to go quite quickly. To confirm your spot payment would be required right away.
Let me know if you would like to join in.Cheers,

Former MemberHi Nicole. I emailed everyone signed up for this trip and let them know you’re looking.
Please don’t forget to register on the trip page itself! You will need to fill out the online waiver (if you haven’t already for the year) and answer the COVID-19 health status questions.
Former MemberIf anyone has extra space in their vehicle and room for another kayak on their rack, please let me know and I will try to make it work. Thanks, Nicole 778 229-7941
Former Memberhi Henry, I just signed onto the site and see your reply. My mobile is 778 229-7941. Perhaps we can coordinate something. Nicole
Admin S. JensenMembers planning paddling trips for the club or with their own groups have some new resources. There is now a COVID-19 section of the website with guidelines and a health questionnaire and contact sheet that the club executive has developed — just in time for the Labour Day Weekend campout on Newcastle Island. Feel free to post any questions about the guidelines here on the forum.
Former MemberThank-you Jayne! Glad to have you along Clark. We hope your wife is feeling better soon.
We still have a few spaces left! Sign-ups will remain open for the next couple of days.
For those concerned about ferry reservations, consider walking your kayak onto the ferry at Horseshoe Bay. Brechin boat ramp is only a few hundred meters from Departure Bay ferry terminal in Nanaimo. It is only a 3o minute paddle around the south end of Newcastle Island to the eastern shore where we will be at Group Site #3.
Jayne HardyHi Clark. Let me know if you still need a ride. I am planning on going Sept 4 and returning Sept 7 unless the weather is really bad. My email address is jh99155@gmail.com.
Jayne HardyI am planning on going kayak camping at Newcastle Island on the Labor Day weekend. I would like to meet up at Horseshoe Bay with others going if possible to make loading/unloading the boats and parking the vehicles a little easier. I can leave anytime on Friday Sept 4 and I was planning on staying until Sept 7 unless the weather gets really bad. My email address is jh99155@gmail.com.
