Hi Maureen,

I would love to join too.

Deep Cove in front of the rental shop at 7.30 sounds good.

Thanks

Hi Maureen,

I’m up for either Howe Sound or Indian Arm and a full paddlin’ day on Sunday.  Early, early, early would/could be magic! Not just sunrise, but sky brighten-lightening.

Meet at Deep Cove in front of the rental shop at 7.30

We will paddle up the arm, and attempt to get Silver Falls 12nm total

See below an opportunity for a guided tour in Gwaii Haanas. Short notice, but these tours usually fill up way ahead of time so if you can make it, it’d be a great opportunity at a much lower cost.

 

“I have one space available for a guided tour of Haida Gwaii for the dates of August 23 to September 3.  The person who had it booked has had to cancel, and we are looking for someone to fill that spot.   Boats, tents, food and guiding are included.  The participant would have to travel to Sandspit (space is available on Air Canada for approx. $630, and accommodation is approx. $150 for the night before and after the tour).  The situation is that my brother has paid $2,700 for the tour but is unable to attend.  I would love to see him get at least 50% of that, but at this point he is open to offers as the spot has to be filled and the date is rapidly approaching.

 

This tour is operated by Ocean Sound Kayaking.   Anyone should feel free to look at their site, but contact must be made through me for this ticket.

If anyone is interested and available, please have them respond to my personal e-mail at qtnme3@gmail.com “

The weather is looking cooler on Sunday. I would like to be on the water early (how early is up to participants) I would like to paddle either Indian Arm up to Silver Falls,  lunch on Thwaites or Crocker Island or anywhere on Howe Sound.

Extended marine forecast for Howe Sound for Sunday

Wind southerly inflow 5 to 15 knots increasing to southerly inflow 20 to 30 in the afternoon.

Let me know if you would like to join me and where and how far you would like to paddle. We will include a little rescue or rolling practice along the way if you are interested, so be prepared to sit and watch if you don’t roll / rescue.

In my field we have a lot of “field guide” ( aide-memoire)

 

but looking around in the kayak world seem not many exist or every info is scattered. If you would have to make one… what would you put in it?😊

Stephen,

If this is still on, I’m interested.

 

Thx

I wonder if anyone has heard if they are still in operation? I tried emailing as reply to Josh who I had been in contact with, and also through the info@ email address and both were returned.

I was due to take a rolling clinic through them, that I had bid on for the Paddling Film Fest,  and still had to pick a date. We emailed before the summer and both had forgotten I guess so I just tried this morning. No success.

Perhaps someone here has heard something?

hi:

IS this boat still on sale?

[Quirine Schuyff]

PLEASE READ FULLY:

I am planning to paddle to the fireworks this eve. Meeting at 6:30pm and leaving from Jericho Sailing Center at 7pm SHARP. (On the beach, In front of Ecomarine) Expected return 11:30 -midnight?

THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS: This can be a bit daunting as there are MANY boats everywhere, big and small, and they all leave at the same time. In the case we are separated you MUST  be confident making your way back on your own. I plan to be at the perimeter, right in the thick of things!

I am NOT A GUIDE OR LEADER, but simply opening up to the possibility of others who wish to do this also. I have one other joining, and possibly more. I won’t be compiling information as I will be away from home all day. Please let someone you trust know where you are going and when you expect to return.  I will however keep informed about who will come via my cell:

778-839-2468

YOU MUST:

-be a confident, experienced paddler and able to maneuver your boat as such

-have ALL required safety gear; the police will be checking.

-be able to wet exit and self rescue

– have GOOD water proof lighting for your boat, front and back,  visible from all sides, which you can access from your cockpit, and I highly recommend a headlamp also. This helps to look at boats, and keep you visible, that may not see you otherwise.

-have water and a snack

-dress appropriately as it will cool down a bit in the eve

-be prepared to paddle in the dark, among much boat traffic, come back late and come off water in the dark
