Hi paddlers!
Asking for advice or ideas:
I’d like to have a mini set of wheels to bring for when I move my boat a short distance, like from my rack at Jericho to the water. I already have a larger sturdy set but would like to have something that I can carry easily when I walk with my gear. There doesn’t seem to be any I can find online. Some DIY options out there but I don’t really have the tools needed and wouldn’t know where to start.
I appreciate all thoughts!

Hey Kate!

Sounds like fun! I its been a while since I have done a round trip. Happy to meet @ Deep Cove Kayak for 8am launch.

I’m going to be heading from Deep Cove to Granite Falls and back on Saturday, July 4 if anyone would like to come with me! Planning to leave from Deep Cove Kayak Centre at 8am,  intermediate pace (7km/hr?), early lunch/snack break & water refill  at Granite Falls and then back. Roughly 33km/18nm.

I’m also open to starting at Cates Park and/or going all the way to Wigwam Creek if we’re feeling like we want a longer day (which could be around 45km/24nm), but I’d likely be a bit slower by the end of that!

There is one space left for this last minute posting. The weather looks a little better next week, but we will be base camping, so it is not really an issue.

Every paddler has a hero. Maybe it’s an instructor, a volunteer, or the friend who stepped up when things got serious on the water.

Hi Christine,

I have two universal battery banks (CPAPExtras.com) that I can lend you during that time period. You can call me at (604) 873-1125 or email me direct at sandnorthrup@hotmail.com

Hello friends,

I’m wondering where my fellow sleep-apnea-suffering kayakers are? I was hoping I could borrow some batteries to power a travel CPAP machine from Aug 27 to Sept 3? [For non-CPAP users, this is a more powerful battery than the ones people tend to use to recharge their phones and such.]

I only have one battery myself; I would be happy to lend out mine to fellow CPAP-users for longer trips in the future as well!

So, please contact me if you have any CPAP-suitable batteries that you’d be willing to lend in late August.

Thank you friends!

I am planning to do rolling practice at Sasamat Lake Thursday July 2nd afternoon.

I will be at the White Pine beach parking lot F around 2:45pm, then use kayak cart to carry my boat to the beach.

Practice time is about two hours with breaks.

Exact location:-

Please bring Kayak cart, wet or dry suit, spray skirts etc.

Having goggles, nose plugs and earplugs would be helpful when learning to role.

This is more about rolling though If anyone wanted to come and do their self/assisted rescue practice are welcome to join.

Please not that I am not a qualified instructor when it comes to rolling or rescue but I could help for those who have done some rolling lessons and wanted to improve their skills.

Please posted on this forum or email me if you are planning to attend. My contact information can be found on the member list page.

Thank you.

Kapila

Meet: 8:00 AM
Launch: Caulfeild Cove, 4784 Pilot House Rd, West Vancouver

🛶 Route: West Vancouver → Apodaca → Snug Cove Cafe for lunch → West Vancouver

If Mother Nature has other plans, we’ll simply head into Howe Sound and enjoy one of many areas to explore instead.

Distance: ~11–15 nautical miles

[Maureen Benzon]

I have secured a date for the practice in July, and registration is open.

Please note. If you signed up as a show of interest, you will need to sign up again.
