Hello folks,

Is anyone in our club on the admin / moderator team for the West Coast Paddler website or knows someone who is? I’ve been wanting to sign up for a while now but their reCAPTCHA verification seems to be not working. The same verification is required to contact the web admin through the site making it impossible to reach out to them.

Any workaround suggestions are welcome too.

Thanks!

Hi Redouane, this email address should work: steveb@stpub.com

Maybe it’s just me but at least one of the two RSVP emails didn’t work, namely

musicsteveb@stpub.com

Hope the other email works, although the spelling looks unusual since the spelling of name and email address don’t seem to match:

maciej_s@telus.net

Again, it’s probably just me 😉

 

merry Christ everybody <3

I hope somebody cancels the on the water part of this asap. I really wanted to do this because last year I missed it but the marine forecast is for 20-30 northerly outflow winds. The wind will die down as it changes direction from the south and if it were to look good, maybe you could poke your noses out for an hour on a morning or afternoon paddle but not dusk to after dark.

Hi Gaila,

I am interested in your carrier, where are you located? Where you happy with it and is it quite universal?

Thanks!

I hesitate supporting another freeze dry meal company until I see an effort put towards providing meals in biodegradable or at least easily recyclable packaging. Most packaging currently on the market is made from a mixture of materials that is practically not recyclable, let alone biodegradable. Nothing on their website discusses that issue.

cheers,

Hello,

Heads up regarding an interesting talk this coming Wednesday…I am a member of both JPC and SKABC,

Pete Curtain

Hi paddlers!

I am excited to announce we will be hosting a presentation by Frank Wolf on November 21 at Jericho!  Frank is a Canadian adventurer, film maker, author, photographer, environmentalist, and public speaker. For more than 20 years he has been adventuring, on self-propelled expeditions focusing mostly on the Canadian wilderness, such as an 8000 km canoe journey across Canada, to rowing the Northwest Passage, a ski traverse of Baffin Island, and cycling 2000 km of the Yukon River in the winter. He was named one of Canada’s Top Ten Adventurers by Explore Magazine, named One of Canada’s Top 100 Explorers by Canadian Geographic Magazine, and did a TEDx talk on Adventuring for the Good of the Planet.

 

You won’t want to miss Frank’s presentation of his expedition ‘Maskwa Nanook’, an 1800 km, 44 day journey by canoe from Saskatchewan to Nunavut.

Tickets are $15 in advance, you can buy them online here:

https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/frank-wolf-stories-from-an-adventurer-tickets-52250982094?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

Tickets $20 at the door.  Refreshments will be available and Frank will be selling copies of his new book “Lines on a Map” as well.
