Sorry I must’ve missed something: exactly when and how is the car shuttle organized? Thanks

[Will Cullen]

Hi Cynthia: yes please.

It was too late to call you but I’d like to buy it:-)

I’m sure you know the recreational fishing regulation change that started 1 April 2023 re: floats:

(Crab) Trap floats
Primary trap floats must be:

cylindrical or bullet shaped – New as of April 1, 2023
highly visible and a minimum of 27 cm in length and 12 cm in diameter so they stay afloat in tides and currents – New as of April 1, 2023
All trap floats must: be made of a durable material suitable for marine waters – New as of April 1, 2023
be marked with only your name in legible and visible letters (at least 7.5 cm high) that are consistent in orientation on the float

 

Like this I guess:

In my years of beachcombing I’ve accumulated far too many floats – please take them from me for free! Let’s not  add to the world’s plastic waste – re-use instead!

Hi Kevin, I’ve asked the presenter if he’s OK with recording but I haven’t heard back. If he allows it, then yes.

I have removed my previous message about this Park because it had inaccurate information. BC Parks have advised me that it is not yet officially open for overnight use, so please restrict your use to day use only until an official opening date is announced, hopefully some time this winter after the information kiosk has been installed.

The Park will be paddle-in access and no fires only.

This cup was left behind at the fall fling. Anyone recognize it? If I’m unable to reunite it with it’s owner it will be put into our storage locker.

[Philip Kubik]

I would like 1 or more volunteers to join me to work at the Bain Creek marine recreation site on Oct. 5-7  or Oct. 4-6. We would paddle from Porteau Cove to Bain Creek and stay there for 2 nights to work on the site. There are a few things to do but the main task would be strenuous work on the boat run moving rocks.  Contact Philip Kubik (philroku@gmail.com).
