Hi Gord

It would depend on the location of the paddle if I were leading a trip.

For example–Evenings in English Bay, the river or Deep Cove-no.

Howe Sound–yes–as it can blow up.

Hello,

I’m new to SKABC and interested in some of the weeknight or weekend day trips. I don’t have a wet suit or dry suit. Are those mandatory for the shorter summer trips? I believe I have all of the other safety gear.

Thanks.

Once again, I’m planning to paddle from Jericho this Thursday evening, meeting at 5:30 for a 6:00 launch. The meeting place will be the roundabout at the end of Discovery Street in front of Jericho Sailing Centre

To be absolutely clear, I am not in any way leading this Paddle or taking any responsibility beyond making initial plans. I am not a SAKBC qualified trip leader, so this is simply an informal group of people getting together to go kayaking. I would however request that anyone coming with us follow the club policies with respect to safety equipment and immersion gear.

Please email me at ellen.w@me.com if you would like to join us.

A shoulder injury prevents me from going.

In keeping with Stephen Tarrant’s posts for weekday evening paddles, Ellen Wood is proposing a Thursday evening paddle this week (July 19) meeting at 5:30 pm at the end of the parking lot next to Jericho Sailing Club, and on the water by 6:00 pm.

Weather permitting, the plan is to head west along the shoreline and see how far we get, turning around at 7:15 pm in order to arrive back at the launch point by 8:30 pm. If the group agrees and there is time, we might paddle a short distance out to check out the yellow buoy we saw 2 weeks ago that we surmised to be a seismic sensor.

To be absolutely clear, neither Ellen nor I is in any way leading this Paddle or taking any responsibility beyond making initial plans. Neither Ellen nor I is a SAKBC qualified trip leader, so this is simply an informal group of people getting together to go kayaking. We would however request that anyone coming with us follow the club policies with respect to safety equipment and immersion gear.

While the intention is to return by 8:30 while it is still daylight, it would be advisable to bring a petzel or other means of lighting your boat just in case Mother Nature has other ideas.

Hi Lorraine,

I’m interested in joining your group to the Thormanbies. I used to paddle out there quite often, but it’s been a few years now. I’m paddling in Desolation Sound right now (gorgeous weather!!😎), but I should be back home around mid-week before July 27. It’ll depend on how this trip goes, and how tired and sun-burnt I am!! 🌞

Join 4 others on a 3 day trip on the Sunshine Coast from Half Moon Bay. We plan to catch the 7:30 ferry Friday morning. I’m out of internet range for the next week and will respond when I can.

According to this article, the buoy is a “wave energy measurement” experiment, to see how much electricity could potentially be generated.

Hi Dermot,

Try the Jericho Sailing Centre http://jsca.bc.ca/

You need to purchase a membership, then can rent storage on the outdoor racks.  I am paying just under $500 per year to store one kayak and one canoe.

All that said I know a few folk that don’t use anything up in the alpine; even in grizzly country.
