Great to know. Thank you Maureen!

Hi Tracy, It is better to take your own kayak. They have a few there, but they are old style river boat without sprayskirts and paddles are fixed at 90 deg.

Please ensure your kayaks are free of sand. There is a hose in the corner if you need to wash it.

Have fun!

Has anyone been to Lord Byng pool during the public Kayak drop-in? I want to take a friend there to practice wet exit/rescue but not sure if I can bring my own kayak, which entrance to go through etc. Any practical tips you could share would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I’m creating this topic to give people a place to organize rides for the Spring Fling trips on May 4.

I have my kayak stored at Burrard Marina and would appreciate a ride to either Cates or Deep Cove. I’m signed up for the Cates-Twin Island trip but am open to switching.

Thanks!

The weather seems to look ok just for today as does the wind. I would like to get on the water for a short paddle. I could be there by 5:30 but if there are others who need a later start I could push it to 6pm meeting?

I keep my boat there so would put in by EcoMarine where they also have started renting boats. Depending on who joins, time of put in, and wind direction,  it could be a paddle towards Wreck Beach (or as far as we get) or perhaps Siwash Rock, or Kits Beach.

I am not a leader for this, nor am I responsible for your safety. I am happy to take beginners but you must be able to handle a sea kayak and have all safety gear.  I won’t make wet/dry suit mandatory BUT if you don’t wear one you must dress in synthetic layers and bring a change of clothes in your cockpit. Be prepared for ANY weather. Warm hat, rain jacket, neoprene gloves, appropriate footwear to get wet feet.

Reply here and I will reply. I am not in constant access to email so give me at least a couple of hours to reply.

Hi all

 

I have been informed by Erin that the window number for discounts has now closed. Those of you that are communicating with her, carry on but unless you are prepared to pay the full price now to fill up the boat, do not ask for the discount anymore.

[Karin Hartner]

There is some room left on this sailing trip with one of the best mother ship tour operators on the coast. Check their website–explore@bluewateradventures.ca. If you are interested, call Erin Boyle and tell her that you know Karin and you will receive a discount.–

reply to karinhartner@gmail.com  if you have any questions

[Karin Hartner]
