Call for volunteers for tomorrow Sat 19 th Oct. Likely start 08:30 Porteau Cove. Pickup en route possible.

Conditions are predicted to be wet, but not quite the deluge of the past few days.

Last Monday (Thanksgiving) we had a full crew of 4 working on the soakaway pit and filled it with gravel, putting up a big tap. moving most materials up to the site from the camp area and cutting and installing wire mesh under the floor to keep animals out. We’ll finish the wire work next and then put in the floor. After that, we can start to add walls and eventually we’ll have a building of sorts. Lots of experience and enthusiasm in Monday’s crew – Cynthia Kennedy, Kevin Hall, Steve Best and me. Thank you, all!

Only let me know if you can come.

No work party on Sunday – Conservation trip instead!

Next week there won’t be another work party until maybe Thu or Fri.

This sale may be of interest to the club.

Gord’s trips are geared to paddlers with some experience. I did my assistant guide cert. course with Gord way back when. There is a chapter on him in the ‘Deep Trouble’ book.

I consider Butterfly Tours and Ocean Sound Kayaking (with Steve Konik) the two best in Haida Gwaii.

Cheers, Peter

Had a great day scouting the route today with George Prevost, Martin Feuchtwanger, and Ted Lam.

We are right at the start of the Coho run. There were already fish spawning and dozens of Eagles waiting to feast on their spent bodies. We went up Weaver Creek and the salmon were so close I touched them from my boat.

We also saw an ancient petroglyph and some other glyphs along the way. This is going to be a fun paddle!

Good evening everyone,

We are only a few weekends away now. We have had some paddlers drop out, so there are still some spots available if you still want to sign up.

As we have 40 paddlers participating, we have split the pool into 4 pods: A, B, C, and D. Our pod leaders and safety paddlers are:

A – Kapila Jayaweera, Ted Lam, Stephen Tarrant
B – Cynthia Rose Lee, Vincent Law, Avaleigh Neill
C – Scott Tebbutt, Jayne Hardy, Sarah Cummins
D – Martin Feuchtwanger, George Prevost, Allan Edwin

Emails should have gone out today to everyone from your pod leaders. First, so you know which pod you are in and who your pod leader is. Second, to request some additional information for the float plan:

– Emergency Contact and Phone #
– Your vehicle + plate / carpool info
– Medical info – ICE

This last one is In Case of Emergency. You do not have to post it publicly. Email your information to myself or your Pod leader. If you don’t know what pod you’re in, please let me know.

I am going to be scouting the route this coming Saturday. This is an unofficial paddle, and anyone is welcome. As far as I know, the following are planning to come along: George Prevost, Martin Feuchtwanger, and Ted Lam. We are going to meet up at Harrison Lake at 9 am on Saturday. If you would like to tag along, please email me or post here.

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.

[Former Member]

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.

[Cynthia Materi]

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.
