What & Where: A local production company filming a promotional video in Ladner approached our club and asked if any of our members would be willing to appear on camera paddling on the Fraser in the area across from Barber and Gunn Islands. The location will be familiar to those who have participated in one of the “Ladner Marshes” paddles in the past.

When: Evening of Tuesday, May 7,  between 4-7 pm.

Who: Anyone interested must contact Roz Screeton at roz@sarahgallop.com, (604)952-4448 directly for more information.

Hey all,

Thought I’d introduce this topic again if people are starting to think about it more. Anyone looking for or offering rides should post here.

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

Thanks!

Thank you everybody for your help! I was able to find someone willing to rent me their boat. It sure is nice to be part of a community where everyone is so helpful to each other.

Hi Theresa,

I would like to join you on Friday.

My friend has just posted her Nimbus Telkwa for sale on Craigslist. It’s a great boat, but it is just too big for her.

You can find the posting here:

SKABC will once again participate in Western Canoe & Kayak’s Paddle Expo to be on Sunday April 28th out on Cultas Lake. Paddle Expo runs from 1000h to 1500h.

I am looking for some talented volunteers that can showcase something that is of interest to Paddlers that can be demonstrated either on land or on water. Volunteer for only a couple of hours or the whole day. Examples of some activities such as; packing a kayak for a multi-day trip, knot tying, trip planning, etc.

If you can volunteer, please contact Calvin Sam outreach@skabc.org 604.561.7629

Thank you

Calvin Sam

Thank you to the 3 wonderful members who have offered to help. We’ll go Wednesday for just the day. I don’t need/can’t take any more helpers.   Don’t worry, there will be other equally wonderful opportunities! Thanks again!

[Theresa Davies]

Thank you, John.

I assume you meant:

Hike 3 km up to “Widgeon” Falls …

[Theresa Davies]

This is a fun, relaxed, day in Pinecone-burke Provincial Park. Depart from the dock in your kayak and paddle north, across Pitt Lake/ Grant Narrows and up Widgeon slough to beach campsite. Hike 3 km up to Widgeon Falls and kayak back. Takes about 5-6 hours total.

Expect an easy pace that allows for full enjoyment of nature along the way, a stop at the falls for a lunch break, and optional exploration of the right arm leading from the slough.

Meet at the boat launch at Grant Narrows at 10 am, Friday, April 26. Bring lunch and snacks.

Wed and/or Thu this week (24/25 April) I plan to take the skiff to Zorro Bay to build a tent platform. I could use some help and if there is more than one offer, there is plenty of other work to continue such as clearing and burning brush clippings and site levelling. Depending on response, this could be a day trip or overnight trip. We’ll also be hauling more building materials to the site, so there will be some heavy lifting – be warned! If interested, pl email Nick H (treasurer2 at skabc dot org).

Yakima roof rack Q towers with Q clips (one pair Q34, one Q131 clips), was on 2009 Nissan Versa. Q towers are universal, Q clips are specific for each car. To check if my clips would work on your car, or to get different Q clips, see here:  https://yakimasupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006474367-How-do-I-know-what-Q-Clip-I-need-

Q towers are no longer made, were replaced by Baseline towers with their specific clips. New, those would cost you $279. for towers, plus $150. for clips.
