Hi Evan,

If you don’t find another, I believe Powell River Sea Kayak has one to rent. You didn’t mention where you were going. Have a great trip!

Hi there!

Looking to rent or borrow Passat double kayak Aug 17-31 – we are a family of 4 – have one passat but looking for a second for our trip in Aug – I can provide repairs in exchange and can reciprocate with loaning our boat in the future if it could be used. Thanks so much for considering!!  Cheers, Evan

Hello

I’ve held my Martine mobile service identity (MMSI #) for Several years.
I just figured out how to update my information with the Federal agency online.  They finally have  an online form to change your information such as address, emergency contact, phone numbers, emails associated with your MMSI.

I am unable to share the link but search for:

Form I — Maritime Identity Application Form: Hand-held VHF Transceivers with DSC and GNSS Not Associated with a Ship Station or Vessel

CHOOSE :

– Modify an existing MI

I received my update with 24 hours

The New Westminster tide Station might give a better result

Hi Jonas,

count me in, please.

I add four hours to the Point Atkinson tide table, which seems to work well in general. The water level of Pitt Lake will affect this rule slightly.  I hope that this helps.

Does anyone know how to figure out what the tides will be for Pitt Lake /  Widgeon creek area? Do the Tides at Pitt Lake have a big affect for Widgeon Creek? I  paddle Widgeon Creek to the Camp Grounds and the Falls several times a year and only have had really low water in mid July and August after the Runoff has stopped and when we are having an extended Heat Spell. (This year could be different for the runoff due to the low snow pack)
Thanks Bob Maher

I would love to join you. I do not own my own kayak. Is there a place nearby that I can rent?  New member, a little out of the loop of how things work.

 

Thank you, this sounds so exciting.

[Jonas Lindgren]

For the adventurous members of the club, this is a a full day paddle on the beautiful and challenging waters of Howe Sound.

We will cross over to the Defense Islands, follow the mainland south, cross over to Gambier,  follow the Gambier coast line south east, have lunch on Gambier, and return to Porteau Cove via Pam Rock.

[Clark Perry-Bater]

I will be coming with a non-SKABC friend. I assume there’s no problem inviting a non-SKABC friend to come and help.

World Ocean Day is Saturday 8 June 2024.

Come contribute to One Ocean, One Climate, One Future.

Join Sea Kayaking Association of BC on World Ocean Day at beautiful Cate’s park for a park and shoreline clean up.

Cates Park is the largest waterfront park in North Vancouver. Its ancestral name is Whey-ah-Wichen, which is a Tsleil-Waututh word that means “faces the wind”.

Cates Park is one of my favourite local parks to launch a kayak from.

It’s a great way to connect with nature and your local community.
When: Saturday 8 June 2024, 10 am by the picnic shelter by the boat launch.

Duration: 1-3 hours.

Lots of free parking or close to bus route.

Washrooms available

Bring a water bottle and a snack. We will be walking 1-3 km.
The district of North Vancouver is happy to support litter clean up events by providing equipment such as garbage bags, gloves, and litter pickers.

If you have a pair of gloves please bring your own.

Need at least 5 volunteers or even will be cancelled
