Great news!

For parking, I suggest dropping boats and gear at the end of Dufferin Ave and driving up to Marine Drive. There is parking up there and stairs back to the beach.

I’ll aim to be there around 8.30 and let’s try to launch about 9am.

My number is 778 980 6673.

Lynda and I are interested in joining you.

How is the parking at Bachelor Bay?

Sadly selling my much loved Mariner II kayak as I got a new one that fits me a bit better and can’t keep both.

This classic design is highly regarded for its seaworthiness, handling, and expedition capability. It also features the original Mariner sliding seat, allowing you to adjust the kayak’s trim while on the water. In 2017, the kayak received approximately $2,100 CAD in professional upgrades by John Abercrombie, including:

* Added front bulkhead

* Lowered rear deck for easier rolling

See previous listing describing work here: https://www.westcoastpaddler.com/community/threads/sold-mariner-ii-with-bow-and-stern-bulkheads-hatches.8409/

The kayak is in good overall used condition with the expected cosmetic wear for its age. It has been well cared for and is ready to paddle, though it would benefit from a new gel coat if you’re looking to refresh its appearance. Mariner II kayaks are increasingly hard to find, especially with the original sliding seat and professionally completed upgrades like these.

Message me if you have any questions or would like to come have a look. Located in Squamish, BC

I would surely be interested. Meteo looks ok despite low wind. How many want to join?

Hi. Anyone interested in joining me for a day paddle over to Bowen on Sunday?

I thought we could launch from Bachelor Bay at 9 am, cross and handrail down to Apodaca Cove and return via Passage Is. or the Cove for a treat?

Yes, similar to the route Ken hosted on Canada Day – but the pre-BC-Day edition!

Let me know!

Hi Limor, I’d love to do this sometime but I’m volunteering for an event both days this weekend. If you end up rescheduling, I’d love to join you.

You can have a spray skirt made At Brooks Paddling Gear

[Marika Green]

Hi,

I’m in search of a sprayskirt for my NDK Pilgrim. I’ve tried the Seal 1.2 skirt but its too big unfortunately.

Specifically I’m looking for either:
-Pilgrim Snapdragon
-NDK/C Seal

Thank you,
Marika

Lovely idea Limor!
I wish I could join you! I have events on Sat, and then Sunday so it would be too much.
