Hello SKABC members. Peggi (my wife) and I recently purchased a tandem kayak and joined SKABC. It’s a pleasure to be here.

Although we’ve done many kayak trips with guides over the years, we are now interested in getting competent at navigation on our own and want to make sure we can do it ‘old school’, using paper charts instead of relying too much on technology. We purchased Ferrero’s 2nd edition of “Sea Kayak Navigation”, which seems well written as we delve into it. Now we need some charts to work with and we are looking for recommendations. Where do you get your charts and tide tables? Do you purchase Canadian Hydrographic Service pcharts/tables from local dealers? Do you print from online sources? etc. Any guidance you can provide to newbies would be much appreciated. Thanks, Phil Jones

Also need a sprayskirt (size 2.2) that will fit a 97X52cm cockpit.

Thanks, please reply to this posting.

I was recently kayaking in Desolation Sound and found a toiletry kit bag. Just trying to get it back to its owner.

Was found on South Curmie island, last Wed., June 28. It was on the steps of the outhouse. On quick inspection there is some valuables in it but no name.

Possibly a member of your club left it behind?? If it is your, please contact klmcdonald@shaw.ca.

You didn’t mention the design, if that was include in the description, it would be helpful.

24′ is a very long Kayak.

Sunday July 14 – Short day paddle (about 10 km total) on the Alouette River starting at Harris Road in Maple Ridge.  Meet at 10:45 am bring a lunch.  The difficulty level is 1 as there is minimal current in this part of the River and no waves.  It’s a very pleasant trip as there are few people on the water, lots of birds, sometimes turtles and beavers.  Please phone me if you are interested.  Shelley Lear 604-437-1549 (landline, no texts)

Hi Jonas,

I’m interested. I looked at the Marine Forecast and it looks good. What time are you planning on launching?

Hi Jonas – I am interested in July 6 trip to Anvil Island.  I am a former SKABC member who recently rejoined the club.  I have good paddling skills, but I’m not very fast – intermediate level for speed.  I live in North Burnaby if anyone wants to car pool with me, but I have my own car and space for a “guest” boat on my rack. I don’t have a marine radio or a cell phone as I lent both to my husband for a fishing trip.

Thanks,
Shelley Lear – 604-437-1549 (home tel, landline no text messages).

Definitely interested, company can fend for themselves for one day!  How early is early?  Early early being better than late early.

The Mariner II has sold!

Wondering if anyone is interested in a 5 -8 day kayak trip anytime this month- anytime from July 11 onward- or sooner, if you can give me a ride, as I don’t have my car right now. Preferably the West coast- Deer Group, Bunsby’s, Kuoquot-Rugged Point, Clayquot, or ??. You would need to have some experience in the area and be fully independent. I’m open to suggestions and flexible with dates. Small group preferable- 2-6 people. Give me a call at 778 870 6043 Theresa

Hi. I am interested in buying this kayak as I am a smaller paddler. Is it still available?
