Go Kayak In The Pool

Taking a day off from being on the ocean it was time to work on some rolling elements with Yves of Go Kayak this evening. It was more of a fine tuning session as Robyn wanted to tweak her normal side roll while I wanted to establish my other side roll.

Arriving at the Crystal Pool at 6:00 pm in the late afternoon heat wave we were wondering why we were going inside instead of playing in the sunshine. The reason is pretty simple ... we booked our rolling session about a month ago and everyone knows that the weatherman can't forecast very well that far ahead in time.

Yves went to work on Robyn's "tweaking" and although there are a few elements that needed a bit of attention she is almost there on her normal side rolls. A few fitting adjustments in her boat allowed her to hip snap better and I could see progress as the session went on. Robyn was feeling a little frustrated at herself on the way home but I reminded her that this session was only the second time she had not used a paddle float. Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer but it will come.

As for me .... well it took a bit but I think I have the mechanics of my OTHER side roll now embedded in my noggin. Sure I missed a whole bunch of the other side rolls but I even managed to recover on my normal side a few times. Then there were those moments of everything coming together and I managed to bang off a few with just a little head assistance (2 %) LOL from Yves. It really was quiet simple when I relaxed, didn't think and went with the flow of the hip snap.

Overall, a really good session in the pool with Yves and we are looking forward to our next pool session next weekend with SISKA. Robyn will be participating in the Bracing clinic while I will be working on my rolls and self rescues as a drop in.

As Yves reminded us tonight, "The roll is the easiest self rescue to do but the hardest to learn". Boy .... when it works it sure is effective and almost effortless. Getting to that point will just take more time "In" the water.

Summer Dreams

After spending a good part of the day walking the dog ;-) , Robyn and I decided to take advantage of the early summer like conditions and paddle around James Island. Last summer we had done this paddle in a clockwise direction so today we would simply go the other way. 

With nearly no wind and the ebb current nearing slack we launched out of Island View Beach at 16:30. Joanne Nicolson also joined us for the paddle even though she had just finished a SISKA paddle.   

At launch time the temperature was 25 C so we decided to take our dry suits with us in the hatches since the water and wind conditions were perfect for light gear. The beginning of May and yet it felt like a late afternoon summer day and the forecast is more of the same for the next seven days. What a week it would have been to simply load up the camping gear and disappear into the Gulf Islands. But that's for later in the year ;-)

Robyn with her new MEC buff and James Island in the background.

After crossing Cordova Channel we reached the bluffs on the south end of James Island. When I looked behind me the sight of the snow capped Olympic Mountains in the distance and Mt. Doug in the foreground was stunning. Do we live in paradise or what?? 

A beautiful picture of Robyn and Jo with the Olympic Mountains 

Heading up the east side of the island the water was crystal clear and we could see the bottom several fathoms below. Jo spotted a couple of Dall's porpoise about 100 feet off our starboard bow heading south so we just watched as they passed by us. There is something special about seeing cetaceans in the wild while in a kayak. Somehow you just feel like you are sort of connected to them as we paddle quietly along in their environment.

Jo and I watching the Dall's porpoise (not in view) heading towards us with Sidney Island in the background.

Rounding the northern tip of the island there were a couple of kayaks on the beach below the high water line getting ready to head back out onto the water. James Island is privately owned and there are plenty of "No Trespassing" signs all around the island above the high water line. However, on a low tide the island offers lots of places to land on the sandy beaches for a rest stop.

As we headed back into Cordova Channel we picked up the last of the ebb current as it assisted us along back towards our put in location. We spotted a cruise ship in the distance just on the back side of D'Arcy Island heading towards Rum Island. What an afternoon it would have been to be camped at Rum Island watching the cruise ships go by. More summer dreams for the future.

We landed back at Island View Beach at 19:00 and the radiant heat coming off the beach was quite noticeable. Aaaahhh ...... summer!

Early Summer Evening Paddle

Yesterday we participated in the SISKA's first ever "Evening Paddle" in the sheltered waters of Cadboro Bay. Mike Jackson was our paddle leader for the evening and it was great to see 16 paddlers turn up for the event of which there were many new faces.

The timing couldn't have better as the whole west coast is experiencing an early summer heat streak and last night we started the paddle in slightly overcast conditions. Over the next 90 minutes the skies cleared and we were bathed in a brilliant sunset.

The paddlers getting ready for Mike's pre-paddle beach talk.

Gary Jacek was the pacesetter and he lead us out NE side of the bay out past Flower Island towards 10 Mile Point. There was a little bit of a flood current to play in between 10 Mile Point as we started our crossing of the bay over towards Jemmy Jones Island that made it interesting for some of the paddlers.

Gary and Mike leading the group towards 10 Mile Point

Almost at the same time the evening summer sun started to show itself and boy did I wish that I had my sunglasses.

That sun was blinding but no arguments from the paddlers.

I think this is the first time that we have been on a paddle where a canoe was used instead of a kayak. Alan and Linda Thomson are very skilled canoeists as well as kayakers and they had no issue in keeping up with Gary at the front of the group.

Arriving at Cattle Point the view of the Olympic Mountains were stunning.

Heading back towards the put in location we detoured to visit the  S.A.L.T.S. Sail and Life Training Society ship Pacific Grace anchored in the bay. The deck was alive with kids experiencing a trip of a lifetime and it was neat to get up close for a few pictures.

My girl .... what a great picture!!

Heading back to the beach I took a few more pictures and this one is a bit of a political statement for Mike Jackson. I wonder who he is going to be voting for in the provincial election??  LOL

To sum it up .... a very popular paddle that SISKA needs to do more of.

WCP Portland Island By Greenland

This past weekend was the West Coast Paddler (forum driven) Campout at Portland Island in the majestic Southern Gulf Islands. Each year the users of the forum run polls for when and where the campout should be held. Many factors come into play like the BC Ferries schedules, paddle distances and dry places to camp and once again Portland Island fit the bill.

After working a really early shift Robyn and I met Sheila Porteous and Gary Jacek at the Swartz Bay Government Dock at 13:30 and prepared our rides for the trip to Portland Island. The kayaking gods must have been with us because when do you get two empty parking spots on a Friday afternoon at Swartz Bay???

Sheila, Gary and me ready to take to the water with our Greenland Paddles.

Robyn and I were really excited about using our Joe O Paddles Greenland paddles made from old growth BC Red Cedar on this trip. They had just arrived the day before by FedEx (Thanks Joe!) and when we opened the box we were amazed at the craftsmanship of them. They almost looked too good to use but that isn't why we bought them. A Greenland paddle is a tool that is meant to enhance the paddling experience and so we put them to the test with our fully (camping gear) loaded kayaks to Portland Island.

Riding along with a full moon flood and a 15 knot SW wind at our back, the trip took less than one hour for us to reach the white shell beach on the west side of Arbutus Point. Last year this was our first camping trip along with it being our first big crossing and it pushed us a bit further in our skills back then. This year after several hundred kilometers under our keels we felt right at home on this journey. On the way into the beach we dropped our crab trap in hopes that we might have dungeness crab for dinner on Saturday night. LOL

Many of the WCP Camp Out usual attendees were already there and it was great to see them once again. Dan, Maddie, Marshall (Langley) Greg (Brentwood), Jill and Bob (Mission) were already on site greeting the arrivals as we paddled into view.

Just before we arrived, Kelly (Kelowna) and his daughter Rachel via South Pender and the Swanson Channel Adventure were unloading their kayaks or should I say Kelly was unloaded while Rachel was texting her mom about the paddle to get here. Kelly's version was pretty amusing especially the part of hitching a ride on a sailboat to make it to Portland Island. ;-)

Kelly, Rachel and Philip at their camp. I'm pretty sure Kelly is winking that Rachel enjoyed the trip.
Rachel ... well she warmed up to the adventure as the weekend went on.

Philip (Vancouver) who launched out of Swartz Bay just before us with kayak sail ready to go arrived a few minuted before us and later in the evening Alana, Matt and Mark (Vancouver) arrived rounding up the Friday campers.

We staked our tent site for the weekend between the trees and set up our guide tarp for the possible heavy rains predicted for the weekend. Robyn and I have never kayak camped in the rain so we hoped that we were prepared for a possible downpour.

Camp Gecko Paddler seen just behind the stump under the green guide tarp.

It was Gary's first trip to a WCP Camp Out and he took advantage of a great place to make home for the weekend. Perched at the top of a ledge only feet from the high tide he had a great view of the Moresby Passage, Mt. Baker and all the sea life (seals, river otters, water fowl) and critters (raccoons, eagles etc.) that live around the island.

Gary's room with a view. Man I hope that tarp will keep you dry if it rains!

After a long day we hit the hay early while we expected the predicted rain and wind overnight. Saturday morning we awoke to breezy conditions but no rain but would it come later? As the morning tide receded we watched a couple of raccoons foraging in the tide pools while an eagle kept an eye out for the chance to steal their finds. Dan managed to get close up and took some amazing pictures of the whole interaction.

Another great picture by Dan Millsip. The little "bandits" showed no fear of the eagle.

After breakfast Alana and Matt and Mark headed out for a paddle around Portland Island and then over to Fulford Harbour while Kelly made a direct solo run to Fulford Harbour for soda pops. Most of the rest of camp decided to hike around the island while Dan and Greg kept themselves busy around camp.  

Our first stop was at Shell Beach where we had lunch on the beach by the ancient Coast Salish Village (Midden). What looks only to be fragments of shells and rocks in the exposed bank could actually hold artifacts and or be could be burial places of early First Nations peoples.

A close up of the Coast Salish Village midden laid down over hundreds or even thousands of years.

Lunch on Shell Beach. L to R: Bob, Jill, Robyn, Rachel, Sheila, Gary, Maddie and Marshall.
Philip came by later as he was on a trek around the island as well getting lots of pictures.

Stormy conditions at Shell Beach but no rain for us today.

Leaving Shell Beach after lunch Rachel spotted one of the "bandits" of the island perched high up in a cedar tree. So this is where you hide when not scurrying around the tide pools or raiding our campsite huh?

The group then made its way to Princess Bay Campsite to visit the old orchard and historical markers. Once owned by a  group of Hawaiians known as the Kanakas the island passed through many hands including a retired British army officer (Frank Sutton) who bought the island with money he had won betting on horse races in China. The plan was to raise & train thoroughbred racehorses on the island but that plan fell through during the Great Depression.

Portland Island was presented to Princess Margaret of England, in 1958, to commemorate her visit to British Columbia. In 1967, the Princess returned it to the province and for many years, the island was also known as Princess Margaret Marine Park, Today, the island is part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, and is known Portland Island.

Making our way back to camp Robyn and I made a  detour with Jill and Bob to harvest some oysters for a midday snack. While cooking them up a little "bandit" came into camp and stole our slab of butter while we had our backs turned.  We did manage to find it in the bushes close by only partially eaten so we were able to salvage some of it.

Through the rest of the afternoon several visitors for the day arrived through the breezy conditions. First to arrive was Mike followed by Mark and Scott. It was getting late in the afternoon when Joanne came paddling up the east side of the island as the the sun was starting to peek through the clouds.









The planned potluck dinner started to come to life in Dan's big MSR tent that he brings to the camp out. It provides shelter from the winds and rain (which didn't come) and makes for a great dining hall.

The potluck in full swing. Robyn and I were busy making the second batch of scallops in bacon. Photo by Dan Millsip

After dinner we sat around and watched the sun go down before Joanne headed back to Swartz bay. Hey! We did come to a consensus that the 2014 Camp Out would be back at Portland Island April 25th - 27th. There were a lot of laughs around the campfire LOL then there was Philip. :-)

Philip took charge of the story telling as he recounted an Arctic kayaking trip where he and a friend were attacked while wrapped up in their sleeping bags in the tent. At one point Philip gets picked up by one foot while his friend manages to fire their shotgun through the tent at whatever was outside. After the whole ordeal the pair made their way into a local town where it was discovered that Philip had actually survived a polar bear attack. There aren't too many people alive who have encountered a polar bear and survived to tell the story. Philip is one of those.

Philip then disappeared for a couple of minutes and into camp arrived George Costanza ... I mean Philip. LOL

Demonstrating his wearable sleeping bag/coat, Philip had the camp in tears laughing. Only a true "Gearhead" would have one of these and Philip fits that bill to a T!

















Once the sun starts to set the temperature also starts to drop so it wasn't long before we made our way into the tent for the evening. Very early Sunday morning I woke up feeling not well at all and in fact I thought I was in the middle of a migraine cycle. Heading out on the trails I thought a good walk might help the situation but in fact something else was actually the problem which I didn't realize until we were on our way back to Swartz Bay.

Thankfully the weather was perfect and the winds light as the camp started to dismantle and our gear was  packed into the kayaks. The forecast for later in the day wasn't looking promising so several groups of us started the trek back towards the Government Dock. During this time I realized what the symptoms I was experiencing were ..... severe dehydration.   Being overly cautious about our water situation I simply didn't get enough liquids for the paddle over to the island and a hike around the island. In fact I figured it out later that I was lucky if I managed to consume just over a 1.5L of water / G2 over three days. Not good! Note: Monday we purchased (2) 10L MSR Dromedary's as this is the second time this has happened to me. Never again!!

On the way back to Swartz Bay I managed to drink a couple of G2's and forced down a banana on a breif stop at Shell Beach. The ebb current was pretty strong as we paddled towards Piers Island which kept us on course for Swartz Bay. Our group of myself, Robyn, Sheila, Gary, Jill and Bob arrived back at the Government Dock together and it wasn't long before we saw Dan, Maddie, Marshall, Kelly and Rachel arriving at the dock. The Vancouver bound members quickly loaded their kayaks on wheels and they were off to make the 12:00 ferry.

We on the other hand took our time (which seemed like forever) transferring our gear to the truck and headed home to get some liquids into me followed by a really good much needed sleep.

Another fantastic weekend of camping with the WCP users and not a drop of rain. Oh yeah .... the crab trap. Well our batting average of ZERO for the year continues as Saturday there was nothing in the trap but the bait had been taken. On Sunday we picked the trap up on the way home and it had a huge sunstar in it and a spider crab. Thank goodness we didn't rely on our crab catching techniques for the potluck dinner on Saturday night. LOL

As for the the Greenland paddles from Joe O Paddles .... they were fabulous and my shoulders felt so much better especially with a fully loaded kayak. These paddles are going to be great for touring and learning new rolls.

On the agenda for this week: SISKA's first early evening paddle on Thursday in Cadboro Bay and a rolling session with Yves of Go Kayak on Sunday night. Got work on my OTHER side roll.

Ukee On The Sea

Our adventure this past weekend was a "kayak bucket list" trip to Ucluelet with 10 kayakers and support crew of the Nanaimo Paddlers. Robyn and I had this trip on our horizon but thanks to the organizers of the trip we were invited to tag along for the weekend.

Friday - Having never been past Port Alberni this was a whole new experience for us not only in the travel to get there and location but also what the west coast has to offer in terms of the sea. Leaving Victoria early Friday morning we made a quick stop at Dave Nichols' place in Shawnigan Lake to help him with transporting his gear. Good thing too as those SUV's don't pack much more than the wife (Alison), a couple of kids (Amy and Liv), the dog (Dhillon), a couple of kayaks and all the girls gear for the trip.

After 5 hours on the road we arrived at the Terrace Beach Resort just after 13:30 to slightly overcast skies, wind from the NW at 20 knots and 2-3 meters seas.

Our home for the next couple of days, the rustic looking Terrace Beach Resort.
 Picture from the GoPro mounted on my Delphin.

While waiting for the rest of the group to arrive we hiked the nearby Wild Pacific Trail to Amphitrite Lighthouse. Here we got our first look at the big water crashing onto the rugged shoreline around the trail system. We also got a glimpse of another "kayak bucket list" destination called the Broken Group which we hope to paddle to in May.

On the trail looking almost due west. Somewhere out there is ...... Russia

A view to the east and in the distance the Broken Group Islands

Just before dinner Walter Van Bruggen and Matthew Light headed out to check out the conditions just outside Terrace Bay. Dave and I took a walk along the trail to see if we could spot them and sure enough in the distance we could see Walter and Mat in their glory. As the sun was starting to set it made for a great picture of the guys riding the swells.

The Friday night potluck dinner was held in the Captain's Cabin and the food just kept on coming and coming. Dave fired up the BBQ and prepared a selection of burgers and sausages while a selection of salads were being prepared inside. Oh yeah .... and there was dessert too. After a long day and a great dinner we and our cabin mates headed back to our cabin (Hummingbird) and soaked in the hot tub before bed. Saturday would be a busy and big day for Robyn and I as we had no idea what to expect.

Saturday - Weather forecast of 25 NW winds possibly rising to 30 later in the day. Sea state of 2-3 meters and broken cloud and sun. Time to rig up and head out on the water.

For the launch phase of the day the group split into two with Walter, Dave and Joanne Nicolson heading out of Terrace Bay and rounding Amphitrite Point to check out the sea conditions for a possible crossing of Carolina Channel to George Fraser Island. The rest of the group launched in the sheltered Ucluelet Inlet and paddled to meet the three scouts at a beach on Francis Island. Here we had a group discussion and it was determined that the channel could be crossed but there were big rollers in the 2 to 3 meter range that would have to be paddled across. The waves were not breaking but it would be up to each paddler to make the decision if they would make the crossing once we got into the main channel. Those who chose not to make the crossing would explore the inlet while the rest of the group would venture across. 

Heading into the main flow of the waves the group stayed together and everyone made the 1.5 km  crossing assisted by the NW wind without any issue. Sure the sea was big but there were no crashing breakers to contend with other than the  up and down motion of the waves coming from the west. The key here was everyone was well informed of what we could expect on the crossing and nobody was beyond their skill set to handle the conditions. For me, I had one other factor to contend with. This was the first time I was in rough water in the Delphin and boy could I feel my hip muscles automatically respond to the wave movement. The further I paddled the better the Delphin felt and its "jittery" feel soon went away. Robyn on the other hand was stable as can be in her rock solid Delta and I think I was more concerned for me than her. ;-)

Here's a good picture of a roller behind me. I'm heading into the trough and the two kayaks
behind me are on the other side nowhere to be seen. Robyn is right beside me all the way across

Once we reached George Fraser Island we spotted a surge channel that was home to a colony of sea lions. It was time to play so we ventured into the wall of  foaming surge as it boomed its way through the islets. All the while I thought people were talking to me as I was heading through the channel and then I realized it was the sea lions on the rocky islets nearby barking at me. Too funny!

Trying to catch a surge wave as it boils up behind me.... so cool!

From L to R - Susan Marsh, Me, Joanne and Gloria Martens head into the surge channel to play.

At the end of the surge channel it was dead flat calm in the kelp bed. From L to R: Gerhardt Raven,
Gloria, Joanne, Reale Emond, Liz Van Heerwaarden, Susan and Robyn

The group did a little exploration of the island and Gloria did a little swimming in a tricky little area nearby. :-) I had just started to enter the same area when a wave caught her off guard and in she went. Dave, Walter, Susan and Gerhardt were at her kayak in seconds to assist her in getting back into the cockpit. After all that excitement it was time for lunch on a sheltered little beach nearby located in a channel between the two main islands. At one end, big waves were breaking pretty good and at the other end ......

........ a portage through a little channel that we paddled through earlier when there was water there. The only other option was to head out through the surge channel at the other end which was out of the question with the big boomers blocking the way.

Lto R: Susan, Robyn, Dave Gloria and myself walk the kayaks through the little creek like rapids.

We then made our way out to Janson Island where some of the group played around in the gnarly waves around the rocky islet close by. Janson Island is really quite amazing as its shear almost vertical rock face would make landings next to impossible.

Janson Island in the distance

It was decided to head back across Carolina Channels towards the Beg Islands where we had a chance to play in the rock gardens. This is where I christened the Delphin by getting it jammed bow to stern in a narrow channel. Everytime that I would get it free with the surging wave, I somehow got it stuck again when the water rushed back out. Frustrating?? Not really until I 1/4 rolled but managed to stop myself by driving my carbon Werner paddle into the rocky bottom. A few more bounces off the walls and I made it free feeling a little embarrassed.

With the low tide approaching the number of starfish were incredible including bat stars of every color imaginable. Dave, Walter, Mat and Joanne decided to head back to Terrace Bay around Amphitrite Point while the rest of us crossed over to the shoreline that we would follow back into Ucluelet Inlet.

Starfish well below the high water line on a rocky islet.

Along the way we made a rest stop at Elephant Rock to check out the sea arches on foot. I didn't go as I had to tend to my GoPro (batteries) but after seeing the pictures I sure wish I had.

While waiting for the group to come back to the beach I managed to get in a little cat nap in the sunshine.

The kayaks and me napping on the beach near Elephant Rock

We started to make our final push towards the inlet and our launch point and it was a bit of a slog as the NW winds were blowing directly in our faces. Those last 5 km were a little tough but a few of us managed to put in a couple of rolls along the way. Heck, I even put in an assisted rescue just for Reale when I missed my second roll. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL

Back at the resort we unwound in the hottub and had a few cottage brewery beers and then it was time for pot luck #2. Once again so much food and the 2 BBQ's were busy. Liz even baked a blueberry crumble on the BBQ as the cabins don't have ovens. I think we all slept really good that night after a great day on the water.

Saturday's track out to George Fraser Island.

Sunday - Way less wind and blue skies greeted us on this planned day of kayak surfing. I took the opportunity to put in a 6am Yin yoga session on the deck while listening to the waves and eagles perched high in a tree above our cabin.

Aftr checking out of the resort, we all headed north towards Tofino for a planned 10:00 OTW time. Stopping at Chesterman Beach, Dave and Walter visually checked out the conditions and the decision was made to suit up. The surf wasn't particular big when we arrived but as the tide started to go out and the wind picked up a bit we got some bigger conditions to play in.

What an amazing day to play in the surf and we had the whole surf zone to ourselves.

Dave and Walter briefed the group on how and where to surf to avoid potential collisions with each other. I had only seen videos of kayaks bumping into each other in the surf zone but today I got to experience it a couple of times up close. In both circumstances I saw the other kayak coming towards me which allowed me to prepare the best that I could for the impact. It was all in good fun but it sure opened a few eyes as to how fast things can develop in the surf.

In this one, the surfing kayak runs over my front deck and I managed to grab hold of it before tumbling into the surf.

In this one, Liz came out of her kayak in a wave but it kept on rolling in the surf towards me.
It was like a big log that just kept on coming getting bigger and bigger and bigger until ...

.... I couldn't brace on it any longer and simply tumbled into the surf with it and my kayak. :-)

Liz and I collecting our kayaks and paddles. LOL No harm done but a lesson learned.

I spent a good part of my morning perfecting the washing machine maneuver but I did manage to catch a few waves. Robyn on the other hand played in the waves just out of the main section and had a great time remaining upright in her kayak the whole time. Nice! She managed to get a few great shots of me out of the kayak a lot ..... thanks Honey! I have a bunch of video to go through and put together clip to be posted later in the week so check back soon.

I like this one ..... "Good kayak"

Happy surfers L to R: Me, Liz, Joanne, Gloria and Reale

After a few hours of surf fun it was time to say our goodbyes and head for home. What a fabulous weekend of water, water, water, fun, fun, fun, food, food, food. The best of all it was shared with a great group of kayakers who have the same passion for such a great pastime.

Our Sunday surf track. Not much distance but tons of fun!
