That’s is great Courtney. You should be able to leave around 4:30 without any issues. I won’t be able to come before 2:30pm but you can go there bit earlier and get ready. I can meet up at the beach. It is the last parking lot mark as lot F.

[Courtney Kohnen]

Hi Kapila! I’d love to join you, thanks! I’ll have to leave a little earlier though, around 4:30. (I can meet a little earlier too, if that helps!)

I am planning to do rolling practice at Sasamat Lake this Thursdays 11th.

Meet up White Pine beach parking lot F at 2:30pm, then get ready and be in the water around 3pm, practice about two hours.

If anyone like practice rolling please come and join with me. I am more focus on rolling however if anyone like to join and do self/assisted practice, you are welcome to join.

Dry or wetsuit recommended. Nice to have nose plugs, ear plugs and goggles for those who are learning to role.

Kayak cart would be helpful to carry boats if available.

Please post comments on this forum or contact me directly if you have any questions.

Dear friends and family, near and far, old friends and new,

It is with deep sadness, I share the passing of Paul Austin James Heraty who left us peacefully on June 26th, 2025, at the age of 72.

Paul was a man of remarkable strength, humour, and heart. He faced a long journey with Parkinson’s Disease and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with courage and grace.

He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a caring brother, a true friend, a gifted writer, and an explorer of both the natural world and the creative spirit.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday October 4th 2025 at 3:00pm at The Jericho Sailing Centre. Located at 1300 Discovery Street, Vancouver, BC.

More details will be shared very soon, but in the meantime, if you have any photos, memories, or stories of Paul that you’d like to share, please feel free to call or reply to this email.

We look forward to coming together to honor his life, celebrate his legacy, and remember a man whose spirit inspired everyone around him.

With Gratitude,

Georgia Heraty & Family

I saw this and thought maybe one of our members lost it?

Burnaby’s great! Does hastings and boundary work for you? Or any skytrain station.

[George Prevost]

Hi Graeme,

I’m in Kitsilano but often travel west from here to Kitsilano and east to Burnaby.

Hi there, I’m interested in the tent. Where are you located?

[George Prevost]

I have a well-used and well-loved MSR Hubba Hubba 2-person tent that I have replaced with something newer and fancier.  Rather than throw away the old tent, I’d prefer to see it go to some use so I’m offering it free.  It is still functional – it kept me dry the last time I used it – but may need some seam sealing. etc. sometime in the near future.   It comes complete with fly, inner, pole set and footprint.  The footprint was seldom used and is in very good shape and might be of interest even if the rest of the tent is not.

If no one shows interest in the whole package, I’m willing to pass on just the footprint and/or the pole set, which could be used for spare parts for a similar tent.

This dry bag and Tupperware container was left in the food locker at Newcastle. Contact jodybaker@gmail.com and we can arrange to get it back to you.

Hi,

Marine Education and Research Society, MERS is offering a free online course (with certificate!)

through their website        https://mersociety.org/

It’s about how to stay safe and protect marine mammals while on the water.  It’s very good!
