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

Need kayak rolling practice? Want to learn from others? Willing to help others?

There are already going to be some whitewater boaters doing the same at Kits Dog Beach (Hadden Park) on Monday 16 Sept at 6pm.  I plan to be there at 5pm.

To accommodate the interest in these events, the number of participants is increased to 15. Saturday is coming quickly, so please get registered and don’t miss out!

[Former Member]

Attention wait-listers: I am going to increase the number of paddlers for this trip to 40. Those of you who have asked to be wait listed, please go and register ASAP.

We are going to hold the trip to 40, so this is really your last chance to sign up for this trip.

Next step will be to confirm who our safety paddlers will be. With such a large group, we have divide up the crowd into smaller pods each with designated safety paddlers. Some of you have already volunteered to lead a pod or be s safety paddler. I will be in touch with you by email.

Those of you interested in camping for the weekend, please contact me by email.

Really starting to get excited about this trip!
