Hi Kallie  I would like to register for the rolling and rescue practice this sunday morning.

I am a long time SKABC member but never mastered rolling. I have had lots of rescue practice but have a new boat so I should get used to doing rescues in it.

cheers

There is still space for the last scheduled rescue and rolling practice this coming weekend near Whytecliff Park.  Come on out. Water is warm and the air appears to be clearing.

Hi Jody,

I have this chart. If you like I can pop around the corner to the printer and get a full scan for you. This printer (and I imagine most others) will print onto waterproof paper, which really is waterproof and does not smudge.

Cheers,

Maureen

Just passing this along.

Was just at Coast Outdoors and they told me there is a sale on the weekend of Aug 26th that is not being advertised (please call to confirm that date).

I do, but I need to use it in 2 weeks.  So, if you need to copy or scan, you need to do it soon.  I’m in north east Coquitlam.

Hi,

Does anyone have a paper chart # 3442: North Pender Island to/à Thetis Island that I could borrow to copy or scan?

I live in Vancouver.

Thanks,

Jody

Bain Creek Campsite on “main land”.

Not exactly on West Gambier, but about 3.6 kms  west north west from Gambier’s  Ekins Point.

I go there regularly, launching from Port Mellon.

 

Cheers

Hi Sand, I’ve paddled and camped on the west side of Gambier and have a few things to suggest. I think it’d be easier over the phone than typing it all down. If you want to call me, my number is 604-434-2294.

Hi. Brand new SKABC member seeking info for a three night trip, potentially launching from Mount Gardner Govt Dock on Bowen, paddling up the west coast of Gambier, around the north end to either Thornborough Point or Douglas Bay and back to Bowen. We don’t know if there is camping on west side of Gambier so any info from experienced paddlers welcome. Thanks!

Because Bella Bella is an Indigenous Community, I would suggest you contact the Band. I suspect that they will want you to barge your car to and from Shearwater, but do contact them to make sure.

Hi,  we are heading to Bella Bella later this summer for a paddling trip.  We’ll have a vehicle with us due to carrying on to Bella Coola and up Hwy 20 later in the trip.  Wondering if anyone has experience with leaving a vehicle in Bella Bella?  Would be grateful for any tips on the best place to leave it. Thanks!

Should bring kayak wheels if you have. Easy to takedown boats to the beach.
