VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

Hey, just because there wasn't a response doesn't mean people don't have stoke! And we had fun last? year paddling round in short SUP races/demolition derbys.

it's a fair bit of effort to plan/arrange for food, taking windgliders, firewood, music, RV's, the ever-enduring bathtub (talk about labor) and bbq's. For example my rig is off the road, do i insure it for an extra month to take it to IV to have hot outdoor showers, another fridge and tunes and find just 3 people show up? It would be great for new people to contribute too, not always the same crew.....old story.

These community posts are intended to see if people are into it.....the maybe's and no posts i know are waffelitis "what if CB goes off" etc. but this event involves at least some wind and u can't always have the chilli and eat it too.

I WILL be @ I.V. new years day ... Waffle free

I'm in, I would like to take a dip at I.V.
Jim are you brining the waffles?

Forecast looking good. I can bring Windbringer with extra stove and some tarps to give a windbreak on the kitestringcatcher - or whatever that shelter is called.

How about a food list start so we don't all bring chips and dips? I'll bring a quiche.

I wouldn't bother insuring the Windkushine for one day Kus! And if you bring group toys like Windgliders you should be excused from bringing firewood!

I'll be packing the ChiliWagon Friday morning with hot apple cider, chocolate cake and chili ...... not sure where I am going yet .... depends on the wind haha. See some of you out there

BE THERE EARLY: "Peninsula polar bears can take the plunge at a number of venues on New Year’s Day.

Peninsula Celebrations Society hosts a swim at noon at Island View Beach with hot coffee to keep swimmers warm.

The 34th annual Polar Bear Swim at Hamsterly Beach is on the north side of Elk Lake at 2 p.m. Hundreds of participants are expected for the swim in costume or swim suit, but be prepared if you’re going to take the chilly plunge."

I plan to CRASH the polar swim @ I.V. , down a few cocoa & rip it up on my 9M ... ~ noon.

Not even the wind gliders could salvage this non-wind day thx for the treats & social fun to those that attended
Dave, driving your case of beer around town

Thanks for the Rvspitality Jellyfish

Things are looking good for a New Year's Sailtogether event...

It's been awhile....anyone into a New Years sail/kite together? CB SUP SE sail looks like Bet we could have an after party at Paul's house The stat on a Friday makes for a great opportunity!

Could be fun!
