Hello Joan,

I have two such systems in my garage. Someone involved with construction inspection told me that if there is anything above the fire sprinklers a pullye system could contravene fire regulations in an underground parking lot.

In any event, in my garage I use pulley system at the front and one at the rear of the kayak. A carabiner on the bottom pulley is clipped to a loose fitting webbing sling which goes around the kayak. The bottom pulley is double as is the one above, attached to the rafters. In addition, I have single pulleys to guide the rope to the side of the garage and along the wall.

4 mm rope is strong enough but a bit uncomfortable on bare hands when raising the kayak. 6 mm rope is probably a good choice. 9 mm rope has a nice feel but is bulky, more expensive, and requires larger pulleys. I used cheap pulleys from Canadian Tire but some stores may not carry double pulleys of a suitable size.

On the weekend, I can send you some photos.

Hi all,  I would like to know how to store kayaks above a parking space in an underground parking area.  I have heard of pulley systems that allow one to park with kayaks on roof of car and then raise them up for storage.  Can anyone comment on how this is done?  How to install such a system? Photos would also be very helpful.  Thank you, Joan Jones

If you are coming down to Paddlefest Saturday June 17 at Jericho Beach (just east of Locarno Sailing Centre), consider bringing your kayak for a quick spin.  After SKABC volunteers entertain the crowd twice with “how much beer can we pack in a kayak, and where” (aka proper kayak packing techniques), some of us are going to head out after packing up our booth and just for two hours in English Bay or False Creek.  We’ll launch at 4:00 and some of us plan to share dinner at 6:30 on the upper deck at the Locarno Galley Grill facing out into English Bay.  I’ve alerted our 537 Meetup followers (the “front porch of the SKABC house”) and so several potential new members will be going out with us, either in their own kayaks or in rentals from EcoMarine.  Come for a paddle or just join us for a scrumptious dinner and sunset!

Hi Nicole,

I was wondering if there was another outfit because of having to stack the boats (we have more than 4 boats). Since it is a wet launch the boats would have to be fully loaded. Do you have experience with stacking loaded boats regarding damage, etc?

Thanks!

Hi Marina,

Out of Secret Cove you could use Buccaneer Marina Water Taxi at 1-877-885-7888. Ask for Christina. She has told me $300 each way. 4 boats (17′ feel long) or up to 8 boats if you are willing to stack them. They don’t have a rack built yet for boats.

Hope that helps. Have an awesome trip!

Cheers,
Nicole

Hello!

Does anyone have information and suggestions of someone who can provide a water taxi service from the Sunshine Coast to Jedidiah on the July long weekend?

Thanks!

Hi Sandra,

People fish for springs year round  from the light at Cape Roger Curtis  to outside Tunstall and Bowen Bays.

A humpback has been doing the same on a flood tide the past year!

Cheers, Peter

Hello Sandra, Cowan Pt to Cape Roger Curtis is (or used to be) a traditional salmon fishing area. mostly later into the summer. There is no shelter on the S shore but at either end there is some. Avoid windy days! You are well clear of the Rockfish Conservation Areas in the Pasley islands, where no angling is allowed, regardless of the species you are targeting. Tunstall Bay would be your easiest and closest launch site, but Eagle Harbour would work for me. This map might help
