    Blackberry Point Campsite Closure

    Re: ????Spring WCP Get-Together????? Just came back from a camping trip on Blackberry. Jan 8-10th. The best launch site is off Nelson Rd. Blue Herron is ok but if tide is out it's a long way to pack gear. There is a fair amount of parking by Nelson also. We left our vehicle there for three...

    layering clothes for winter

    Amen to the dry suit. I have low body fat and am always cold. We purchased our first kayak (a tandem) in November and there was no way Nick was going to wait for fair weather to get out on the water so he was pretty motivated to make sure I was warm! We are on the Coast so winters are a...

    Re: WHERE DID YOU PADDLE ?? - OCTOBER 2010 A nice October day paddle from Ladysmith Harbour through "the cut" to Norway Is which is on the east side of Kuper. Ladysmith Harbour is a great place to launch as there are 3 boat ramps and ample parking for dozens of vehicles. The day was a bit...

    WCP Fall Trip - The Plan

    Good advice Rod and we definitely leave a float plan with someone at home...especially since we seem to paddle more in the winter in poor weather than on those beautiful calm summer days! Maybe this is because Nick is of the "Grizzly Adams-mountain man-no such thing as bad weather" breed...

    WCP Fall Trip - The Plan

    Appy sharing sounds good Rod. Nick and I did a little "recon" trip yesterday. Went from Blue Herron to Blackberry Point then south to the north end of Thetis and back to Blue Herron....I personally like the Cedar by the Sea launch site but on this topic apparently I'm not the boss...I'll deal...

    WHERE DID YOU PADDLE? June 2010

    We've spent the past winter & summer kayaking around the Southern Gulf Islands as they are so accessbile to us. Only day trips so far due to work demands. I am always overwhelmed at the end of each day at the beauty that is literally right out our front door and we have some amazing photos...

    The Paddling Food Critic

    Genoa Bay Cafe @ The Genoa Bay Marina..... a bit pricey but really top notch...and they have a nice ramp and public facilities to make yourself "respectable" again after a day on the water. Open year round. Good beer! :big_thumb
