I picked up few items at Echomarine Granville location this afternoon.

They have nice Werner carbon fiber paddles weight about 600g 30% off (Original price $535.00). Still have quite a few left.

Also PFD’s 30%, cloths 30-50%, charts 60%, shoes, slippers 50% (no much left. Still have size 10-12 left)

Not much kayaks left except few new Seawards and Current Design around $3200. They are not selling any used kayaks.

Spray skirts 50% off. Also some used spray skirts for $20.

They said that no sales at Jericho location since someone already purchased all used kayaks, rest of the stuff to start a new business. If anyone planning to go to Jericho may want to check (if there is a way to check)

Someone selling this Seaward Tyee Kevlar kayak for $1600. Looks like a great deal.

I love to buy though 24” beam would not work for me. Please check below Craigslist posting.

Hope it is still available.

I’m willing and able to be a pod leader / safety boater. I need a ride, though.

As my boat is portable, it can go in the trunk instead of on the roof. I live in east Van.

I’m open to camping or pub visiting.

Hello everyone!

We now have a ride for Cynthia. Anyone else needing a ride, please post here. It would be great if we can get the carpools and shuttles sorted out early so no one is left out.

Kilby Provincial Park campground is open year round. I am planning to camp there for the weekend. Let me know if you’re coming out too.

As we have such a large group (40 paddlers!), I am splitting everyone up into 4 pods: A, B, C, and D. We can’t crowd the parking lot and beach, so the pods will be launching in staggered fashion. Each pod will have a leader and 2 safety paddlers. If you are would like to help as a safety paddler, please post here.

If you are a new paddler and want an experienced paddling buddy, please let us know.

Hi Andrea,

I am not in Kits.  My kayak is at Barnet Marine Park.  Any chance you would be willing to pick me up there for the Harrison trip?  If not, I understand.

Heads up folks. We all use Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal, drive on and walk on. BC Ferries is preparing to redevelop the terminal and have opened up public consultation. If you want to be able to walk your kayak on and off the ferry without risking damage to your boat, this is your chance to speak up.

Kokatat dry suit about 6 years old, new rubbers neck and wrist, done by Kokatak one piece, yellow. I am 5’11” 180 lbs, I believe it is a meridian and by my size I believe it is a large but there is nothing on the suit to say this. No leaks.  Has the hood and peak. I will send pics on request, ted in Penticton 250-488-9905 tedkatie42@gmail.com

the dry suit will be at the Oct 7 meeting of vancouver SKABC if someone would like to have a look and/or try it on.

never did figure out how to amend the original add, so made a new one thx

[Former Member]

Not sure how to revise my add, so will reply to it. The rubbers were done by Kokatat, now asking $650. As I can see that Penticton is a long drive just to try the suit on I will send it to a friend at the coast for this purpose. I believe it is a meridian and by my size I believe it is a large but there is nothing on the suit to say this.

A co-leader has been found for this trip, so the overall participants is now increased to 8. There are now 3 spaces available for additional paddlers.

If you have any questions, please contact Philip Kubik and/or Kapila Jayaweera.

Many of you know about the BC Marine Trails Network Association and their mission to create a network of marine trails on our coast. The work to complete this vision, preserving public access to public sites for paddlers and small boats from Victoria to the Alaska border, includes 11 paddling clubs (including SKABC), First Nations, industry groups, and multiple levels of government.

The BCMT organization is now poised to move to a new level of activity in 2020. Volunteers with IT skills are now needed to help roll out new digital tools. If you have web skills (experience with Joomla! CMS would be great), you are needed sooner than later.

We have lined up a couple of team leads for the IT group. If you have worked with Content Management Systems, but not Joomla!, we can train you.

If you want to volunteer with BC Marine Trails, whether you have IT skills or not, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator karen@bcmarinetrails.org. She will be glad to help you find a role that suits you.

Cheers!

Allan
