    I think all the pictures I have on the site currently are pics I took around the island. Some at Race Rocks, some at Port Hardy and some around Victoria. Lots of color in our waters when you shine a light or strobe on them.

    Paddling to the Tall Ships in Victoria Harbour - June 24

    Hard to keep straight who is here and who is there. I am sure if we are looking for just one to be a crowd I could fit the bill. I might have another paddler who is interested.

    Paddling to the Tall Ships in Victoria Harbour - June 24

    I would love to get out for an overnighter but the next two weekends are not good. I do however plan to get out and do some picture taking myself. I also want to do a night paddle around the harbor withthe ships in. Perhaps we can get somewhat of a group together for a night paddle.

    There's a lesson in here somewhere...

    Sorry about your loss. Thanks for sharing you story as something like this can happen anyone regardless of skill. Check your house insurance. I have condo contents insurance which would cover the a camera with a $500 deductible. I added a rider which costs about $40 for $4000 worth of camera...

    Looking for a new stove

    I bought the MSR Dragon Fly. Very noisy but it does heat water quickly and also has a simmer control. If noise is an issue then this stove is not for you.

    REVIEW: DVD - This is the Sea

    I watched this video a couple of weeks ago after renting it here in Victoria and it opened my eyes to what some people do with a sea kayak. An excellent rent for sure.

    May 27th overnight trip to Prevost Island

    Well I am sure you will enjoy the boat builders event. I am thinking about a kit for a wooden boat. I saw two people paddling wooden kayaks on the Gorge in Victoria last week. The boats were not Pygmy kits but I almost offered to buy one from him they looked so cool. Apparently they were also...

    Kayak Transportation

    Does the driver sit in the kayak and lean / edge to turn? I have a pick up with a Yakima rack system with rollers. Saddles on the cab and a cross bar on the box spaced so support is under the bulk heads. It is amazing how many type of rack and systems one sees on club events.
