Hi

Earlier last month, I did the above trip , in addition to a smaller river paddle on the island.

The Na Pali coast one was exhilarating, generally described as the “Everest of Kayaking”.

Big swells and waves , wind too, but a lee wind practically all the way except when we had to head into the wind to negotiate some reefs.

The sun was intense and just sun screen :not enough, must be covered up well too.

We were warned, if after the first hour , any signs of seasickness.. to drop off ( the guides take you to a beach to be shuttled back}. There after, no road access for next 20 kms… only a rescue boat . Also warned , capsize likely, must be able to self rescue with guides aid.

The surf landing at the end was exciting, but fortunately no big rollers.

 

Some images here.

Cheers

I made an error stating I would return Sunday. I’d prefer to return on Monday.

Thanks Kevin!
I didn’t want to put an exact time as it will depend on who I might take with me.

I have put a float plan here. The ferry tab is used to help with organizing carpooling. I will share this out to the registered participates.

That is a bit out of the way for me Cynthia, especially since I need to pick up my boat from Jericho. I hope you can find someone but let’s keep in touch. Do you have any timeline restrictions?
I’d probably go Friday morn and come back Sunday afternoon.

Hi Everyone,

I am just seeing if there is interest from members of SKABC to join a group doing a guided tour in Baja, Mexico this November.  There are three of us already.  Actual dates are not yet defined.  Looking at a 7 – 10 day trip.

The actual guide(s) will not include me (I am simply going as a paying guest).  Arrangements are being made with Sea Kayak Baja Mexico whose owner is a good friend, Ginni Callahan.  The company is based in Loreto, Baja, Mexico.

If you are interested in doing a winter kayak trip in Mexico with me and a few others please let me know as soon as possible.  Please contact me via: mgilbert1600@gmail.com.

Thanks all and have a super summer paddling.

Mike

Is anyone going on the Friday that would like to carpool?

Conservation at Fraser River 1A to remove Scotch Broom
When: July 16, 2024 from 12:30 PM – 5:30 PM

Why join us?

Scotch broom is a serious bully. It spreads like wildfire and burns like wildfire. Wildlife can’t eat it, and it smothers our more delicate native plants.

Metro Vancouver Parks want to control the spread of Scotch Broom on Don & Lion islands in the Fraser off Richmond. These islands are seldom visited. We would launch near Shelter I Marina, Graybar Rd/Dyke Road, Richmond, where there is a paved boat ramp.  The paddle across to the islands is very short (maybe 200 m) and looks hazard-free, but expect some current and muddy banks on arrival.

If interested please sign up on the  trip list
