Thanks for the heads up, Don! I will check them out.

Hi Steven: try Jericho Beach kayak or deep Cove kayak for lessons. You should be able to rent a boat from either too

 

Cheers, Don Froese

Hello,

I am a new SKABC member interested in taking an introductory course to sea kayaking safety. Regrettably, the current Beginner Course coincides with me being out of town, otherwise I’d sign up for the waitlist.

Are there similar courses elsewhere that SKABC members may recommend? I do not have a kayak of my own, so bonus points if rentals are available from the business/organization offering training.

Thank you,

Steven M.

Hi Melanie. Would you be interested in selling one set of paddles and one sprayskirt?

I realize that may not be your best option for selling the double kayak. But if so, what area are you in?

Thanks,

Nancy Preston

Since this post I have been wondering about the actual difference between a tensor banadage and a compressor bandage. The are variables like “long stretch” and “short stretch” but Alberta heallth has this to say:

What is a compression bandage?
A compression bandage is a long strip of stretchable cloth that you can wrap around a sprain or strain. It’s also called an elastic bandage or a Tensor bandage. The gentle pressure of the bandage helps reduce swelling, so it may help the injured area feel better.

Elastic sleeves that you can pull over an injured area work the same way. Bandages and sleeves are not expensive. You can buy them at most pharmacies.
How do you use one?
A compression bandage may help most to prevent swelling in the first few days after your injury. You can wear it longer than that, as long as it doesn’t make your pain worse.

Putting on a compression bandage is easy, and you can do it at home. The steps are similar, whether for a wrist, an ankle, or anywhere else you would wear one. Follow any instructions that come with the bandage.
