Weather looks good this Wednesday, March 11- let me know if you would like to join me for mid morning launch to paddle in Indian Arm.

Hi,

I’d be interested in Wednesday’s after 5 a little later in the season and Sundays daytime.

Welcome to March everyone! There was a gale warning on Georgia Strait yesterday, so keep your fingers crossed — in a like a lion, out like a lamb.

Space is still open for our first Stewardship/Conservation day to Widgeon Creek next weekend (Mar 14). Contact Katya Yushmanova for more info.

Philip Kubik is leading a day trip around English Bay in a couple of weeks (Mar 22). Time to get the cobwebs out people. Registration is now open.

Bob & Graham have now posted their popular Mentored Trip for Beginners/Intermediate paddlers starting on multi-day trips. They will be taking 4 paddlers out to the Broken Group Islands the last week of May. Prospective participants must provide a cover letter and participate in a pre-trip paddle. Registration opens Monday.

Jayne Hardy & Lorraine Sharpsteen have posted a multi-day trip to Desolation Sound for the last week of June. Space is limited and bribery is not an option. There may be a talent competition. I recommend practicing with your ukuleles. Registration opens Monday.

Finally, I am planning a multi-part series for intermediate paddlers to explore Howe Sound — South, Central, and North. Each trip will be a weekend trip, paddling 10-15 NM each day. These trips are for intermediate paddlers to test their skills over longer days and varied wind conditions. First trip (1/3) will be posted shortly, either Mar 14/15 or Mar 28/29. If you are interested in participating as a leader/co-leader/paddler, please let me know.

I would be interested in Sunday paddles.  May not be able to make it every weekend but hope to be able to join some of the time.

[Former Member]

I am eager to do at least some of these, depending on work.  Sounds great!

Hi Theresa,

I’d love to get out for paddles on a regular basis. I can’t make Wednesday afternoons, but could put in at 6 pm, so maybe better to do that later in the year.

Saturdays and Sundays are both good options for me.

I’m interested in Wednesdays and Sundays, well it it’s not raining!  I’m away March 8th but after that…maybe.

[Debra Merchant]

Both Wednesday and Sunday are possible for me.

[Theresa Davies]

Thanks for your interest in Sunday paddling. March 8 is good for me.

[Former Member]

Sunday is great. I’m available to join this Sunday for sure.

[Kirsten Hathaway]

I’m eager to get out … Sunday’s are the most reliable option for me.

[Theresa Davies]

I’ll try that again- are there any club members interested in paddling on Wednesdays and-or Sundays. Perhaps forming a contact group of interested and available paddlers would be more productive for getting a few people (2 a minimum) together. Any other suggestions?
