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.

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.

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

Cate’s Park World Ocean Day Clean up Walk
When: June 8, 2024 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

 

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

[Nick Heath]

Final opportunity!

I’m going alone for the day taking the 07:30 am ferry and borrowing a kayak from the outfitter. I have room for 1 more…

Hi Nick, I am planning to buy crabbing gear and get my yearly fishing licenses, so I would be interested in grabbing from you instead of purchasing new.  Thanks Tania
