On April 17, Nathan Slater who gave a great presentation at the recent BC Marine Trails meeting, will be presenting in our area. He reached out to SKABC :

…if any of your members are near North Vancouver, I’ll be giving a presentation about my 140-day sea kayak expedition from Victoria BC to Yakutat Alaska on April 17th at the North Vancouver VPO store. I’ve attached the event link below:

Please all members – fill out the survey! It is very short and painless.

(Oddly, they  seem keenly interested in ones identification with minority communities, which seem to expand weekly! But you don’t have to answer in detail…).

Sounds great Don and Lynda!

[Lynda Froese]

We will be paddling in the area next weekend and would love to drop by and say hello at the potluck.

The club has reserved the group site at Montague Harbour for the Navigation course April 19-21. There are 5 extra spots for members who’d like to come camp and paddle on their own. It is $10 for the two nights. You’d be welcome to join in on the course potluck Saturday pm.

It’s a chance to camp last minute, socialize, and paddle or explore as you desire. There is no designated leader. Ferry reservations recommended.

To get a spot, log in to the website and use this link to pay: https://www.skabc.org/events-2/exploring-montague-harbour-galiano-island-2b/

Join us at 7:30 pm with SKABC members Benjamin and Katya to screen the film they made of their Antarctic trip. More details are below.  Breakout rooms will be open after the presentation.

In February 2022, Katya Yushmanova and Benjamin Walsh took the trip of a lifetime to the Antarctic Peninsula. Crossing the Drake Passage on the sailboat Spirit of Sydney, they spent the next three weeks exploring Antarctica by kayak. An official selection at the 2023 Dana Point Film Festival, Edge of the Human World chronicles their trip and the surreal experience of being in a place where the troubles of the human world seem both distant and strikingly real.

Benjamin Walsh is a poet and filmmaker based in Vancouver, BC. He never feels more inspired than when he is sitting in a kayak.

Katya Yushmanova is a painter and a landscape architect based in Vancouver. Her passion for adventure has led her to hike, sail, and kayak much of the Pacific Northwest.

Ben and Katya have been members of SKABC since 2015.
