Hi Craig,

I can’t take the summer off but I would be willing to do a stretch of it with you if we could make it work. I have paddled all of the outer coast (in several trips), from Klemtu to Tofino and the only thing that has prevented me from doing longer trips and going further north is the trouble with finding paddling partners. I was trying to put together together another trip to the Klemtu area for this summer but have so far I have had no takers.

Here is the thing.. I am in my sixties now and I suspect you’re a whole lot younger than me. I am by no means decrepit but I am not willing or perhaps not able to do 20 miles day after day, if that is what you’re planning. What I would propose is that if you would be interested, we can meet, I can bring my charts with all of the goodies of info marked on them and if there is a section of your journey where you can use some company, perhaps I can join you. At the very least I would be happy to pass on to you my knowledge of the places I’ve been. If you do want paddling partners even if they are a bit long in the tooth, I wouldn’t mind going from Bella Bella to Port Hardy down the outside a second time or along section in the north. I haven’t been along the outer coast of Aristasibal, for instance.

Cheers,

Heather.

Hi there!

I have pre-arranged to take the Summer off from mid June to the first week of August 2018, in order to paddle the outside route of the BC Coast, from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy (or vica versa).

Unfortunately my planned kayaking partner had to suddenly withdraw due to work, so I’m now looking for experienced kayaker(s) to join me this Summer. I’m flexible if others are only willing to go down half of the coast, as opposed to the entire stretch.

I’m easy to get along, have several years experience, with and pull my weight in camp duties and make the best pancakes you’ll ever experience!

Please let me know if there are interested paddlers.

My nieces ( 12 & 13 yrs) are coming to visit for a month in August ( Aug 3 to Sept 4)  &  we hope to do a lot of paddling.

Does anyone have a double kayak I could rent…we hope to so some multi day trips but as you know…the timing depends on the weather.  ? It’s ok if it’s well loved…as long as it does not leak majorly.  Happy to give it some TLC.   Plastic is fine too .

Hi,

On Thursday I’m doing a little trip from Grant Narrows at the south end of Pitt Lake down the river to the Gillnetter pub, with a couple of little side trips on the way down. If you’ve never been up there, the scenery is spectacular, the weather will be perfect and there should be lots of birds to see. Pitt Lake is unique in that it’s the largest tidal lake in the world and it’s right in our backyard.

If you are interested, reply to heakirk@telus.net.

Hi Again,

I keyed the serial number for the Vaag in this post; I should have provided this information instead.

Valley, Gemini SP – K05MBJ1 (the serial # is in the cockpit, behind the seat, I think). There’a “Ten tree” decal between the front hatch and tip of the bow.

Thanks for noticing J.!

Chantal,  could you please post details of your Valley Kayak (model, serial #)?

Thanks,

Chantal, I’m so sorry to hear about your kayaks!  What a horrible thing to have happen.  I will copy the post and put it on the Hollyburn Sailing Club Facebook page.

Fingers crossed that they will be found!

Hi Chantal!

What a nightmare, Dermot and i very much feel for you.

Do you have pictures of the second boat that was stolen?

Would you like to share where you had parked your car when the boats where stolen?

I’m currently in touch with Kayak Academy (Seattle area), will send an email about your stolen kayaks, i’m confident they will keep their eyes wide open for you.

Keeping fingers crossed for your boats’ safe return.
