    seats and rudders for strip kayak

    Thanks everyone. I have read about the micro cell seats and everyone seems to love them. I've never had a chance to sit in one. I just like the idea of adjustability on a longer day paddling.

    storage issues

    Stopped by the shop in courtenay, no such luck. I'll probably store it with family in nanaimo.

    storage issues

    I can barely get people to even talk to me from this distance. I'm in the kootenays, I'm not a nigerian prince and I do not want you to send me anything ;) ugh I hate looking for new places to live. I do not want a condo or apartment but it seems to be the most available. I can store my boat at...

    storage issues

    Unfortunately a new boat is way out of my current budget. I can probably find storage with family in nanaimo or ladysmith, really not convenient. Thanks for tyhe suggestions, i'll have to check out the marinas while i am down in a few weeks.

    A failed attempt at the Scott Islands

    I've always thought I'd like to go up to lanz/cox someday, after reading this I'm not confident. I have hiked cape scott many times, the first time we missed the last chance to take the suspension bridge by a matter of weeks before it was closed. Great read, thanks.

    Naka Creek

    I drove in there with my subaru and put a good dent in my new exhaust. Make sure you have the clearance if you plan to drive in.

    I have a c-tug with the inflatable wheels. they sink into sand and make towing harder. those other wheels look like they would stay on top nice

    Is your kayak properly secured while transporting it?

    Yeah I have straps with cams for the rack, today I found some python locks at a garage sale and it made me think about this. I was thinking specifically bow and stern for a long drive (kootenays to van-isle). I'd like to have it done up proper for the drive. I do know some knots (bowline...

    Is your kayak properly secured while transporting it?

    What do you recomend for someone wanting to use rope with caribiners to make bow/stern lines? ie: breaking strength of rope, what knot to use at the ends. Any advice would be grateful. I'm moving in a couple months and have never driven more than a few minutes to launch in the lake here, want to...

    The dying art of wooden boats.

    No doubt, it's hard enough to find work in the kootenays as a journeyman carpenter. Specializing would only make it harder.

    n00b in the kootenays.

    Thanks for the welcome. I picked up a pfd and a gerber river shorty today so I hope this weekend I will at least get out for a short paddle. I'll probably pick a small lake (cottonwood?) instead of kootenay lake or arrow lake. KayDubbya: I will be in Kelowna on friday the 27th, but I'll only...
