Hi Doug, I'd better lock this down while I can. ;) It really is a generous offer. Would sometime this Saturday work for you? I can be down there for 10am or anytime that is convenient for you. My # is 604-250-7597. You can text me the address. Thanks very much, Doug

Thanks very much Doug. I'll be in touch with you shortly.

Hi Doug, I will purchase these if they are still available. I'm in Nanaimo but can come down sometime in the next couple of weeks if you don't mind holding on to them till then. Appreciate it, Doug

Thanks Red, I'll be checking into the process tomorrow to get it across the line cause it looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'll contact you once I have more info. Thanks, Doug

Hi WaterSpider, too funny cause that was the ad that started our search. I went and looked at it yesterday and it is a well built trailer but I'm just concerned about the height of the boats. I have a real phobia about someone rear ending us and taking out the boats. The trailer is solid and...

We are looking for a trailer capable of carrying 4 kayaks. The ideal trailer would have elevated racks to avoid accidental contact from following vehicles and some sort of dry storage container. Either one set of crossbars we could throw some saddles or J-racks on or a double tier style arm...

Alex, Thanks so much for taking the time to post your trips. I always enjoy going through them. Cape Flattery is now on the 'to do' list. Those caves and tunnels looked fantastic. Doug

Thanks. Still looking to build a BP. Lila's TG OC is a little too small for me. Clearstream used to have different sized kits available but I can't find them anymore. Will probably order a kit or plans for a BP this year.

Nootka, How would you compare the Tahe to the BP when it comes to rolling? Do you have a little less freeboard in the BP?

It'll be a bit of a test for the old memory. This is both Lila's and my boats. Will bold the current fleet. 2 Necky Manitou sports. Poly Seaward Cosma, FG Seaward Luna, FG Nimbus Telkwa Sport, Kevlar P&H Cetus, FG First SOF build Valley Nordkapp, FG NDK Explorer LV 2 more SOF Valley Anas...

Thanks for posting your build. I'm really looking forward to watching it come together. I've never built a strip kayak but keep threatening to do one. Keep the pics coming. It looks like it's taking shape nicely. Doug

Merry Christmas to all. Mick, gotta thank you for that pic. Laughed out loud when I saw it. Well done. Happy paddling everyone. Doug

I will stick with the card instead of the DVD. Just got back from trying to buy one at a couple different stores. Neither store had the hardware and more disappointing was their lack of info on the unit. No one really able to answer any questions or help me out. Always like to purchase from...

Thanks John, That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Is it the G2 card you have? I think I'll head out today and pick one up.

I've had a Garmin 76CSX for well over 10 years and it has worked flawlessly. I remember that I had to buy charted areas of the coast from Garmin, load them onto my desktop and then work through Mapsource software to set waypoints and routes. I would then select what charts I needed and...
