Hello, I’m new here and am also from North Shore.

Tuesdays are best for me but I can be flexible on Thursdays. I did kayaking one time at Spanish bank last year and I have a small / slow 10 foot kayak if that’s ok.

I am interested. I keep my kayak at Jericho, so I prefer to launch from there. I’m flexible about time and day.

Tuesdays would work for me (until the last week in August), Mondays and Thursdays are a possibility depending on the week. You can text me at(250) 818-2287. I’m free  after 3 but need to get over there from the North Shore.

I’m interested. However, would 6:00pm Thursdays work for you? It’ll give me time to finish work, load my boat and drive out to Jericho.

Let me know. thuypham88@gmail.com/604-442-5446.

Was wondering if anyone is interested in meeting for weekly evening paddles, launching from somewhere along Jericho/Spanish Banks, and paddling sometimes West around Pacific Spirit park, sometimes East into False Creek.   This would be similar to the “Wednesday Night Paddle Series” in Deep Cove, but launching from somewhere on the Westside of Vancouver beaches.

Basically, I work on the UBC campus until 4:30 most days, and driving all across town and over the Ironworkers’ is a bit of a rush to go paddling in Deep Cove.    Would prefer to meet around 5:00 or 5:30PM one evening per week, perhaps a Tuesday or Thursday (so that Wednesday Deep Cove Paddlers have the option of going both paddles…..    I am not a qualified SKABC ‘trip guide’, so this would have to be ‘unsanctioned Short Notice trips’ unless and until someone who is a ‘trip guide’ takes it on.

Looking forward to hearing if anyone else is interested.   At this point almost everything is up in the air–which day, launch location, exact time, etc.

Hello Roy,

Sound like a very nice boat you almost built and I would love to finish it.  I built a Redfish Spring Run from a kit a few years ago and really enjoyed the project.  The King would be an excellent addition so both my wife and I can paddle wooden boats at the same time (she would get the Spring Run and I the King).  I live and work in North Vancouver and have a very flexible schedule, could come over on Monday almost any time.  Please let me know what works for you, I can best be reached on my cell at 604.619.9402 or email robert.kulka@gmx.net.

Kind regards, Robert

Folks,

A non-profit called Adventure Scientists is looking for volunteers to collect leaf and timber samples of big leaf maples this summer and fall. The samples will be used to create a genetic database that will help track illegal logging. They are particlularly interested in people planning to travel in Jonstone Sraight, Desolation Sound, and Vancouver Island north of Tofino.

Please take a look at the volunteering details . There is a map on the website showing the areas that still need volunteers. It would be great if SKABC could help them out!

This kayak is built with cedar strips which have been cut from planks and sorted so that the finished colour/grain variations are book matched on either side of the centre line, both on deck and hull. Since buying the boat in its current unfinished state I’ve built a small sailboat, some furniture and have many other projects are waiting in line. The Redfish King is a superb boat (I’ve paddled one in the past, that’s why I bought this one) and will stand out in a crowd when finished. I would like to recover the $500 I paid for the boat and see it go to a good home. The hard work is done and the cost to finish will be minimal. Adjustable foot pegs are included. It’s currently hanging in my garage in West Vancouver. If you are interested and would like to see her please let me know.

I’m organizing an informal rescue practice session (no instruction) at Barnet Marine Park this Saturday at 9am followed by a short paddle in the area. The event was posted a week ago so it was not included in the June Newsletter. If you’re interested, you can e-mail me at walter.f.rosin@gmail.com or call me at 604-347-3484.

I have a Redfish King cedar strip kayak almost finished. The hull and deck are finished but not yet joined. I am no longer able to complete this beautiful boat. Any offers? Thanks.
