Dave crosses Georgia strait almost every year as a fundraiser. He and Eastside are crossing together in July. Check with Eastside for more details if you are looking at a Georgia Strait crossing.

check with KUS, I 'm sure he has one for sale.

mine are inboard on my 92 litre, i find i have more control as the wind gets stronger, I probably lose some speed when its a little lighter

jb weld is strong but the metal in it will rust

very exciting, looking forward to my summer jaunts to port alberni

hey mf4, the water at the quay in the summer is warm enough to wear a shorty, its warm like soup.

I am planning a trip to maui in about a year. I will be sure to read your experience again, just before I go. As a gentle reminder that I am a guest of the sea, and need to show the appropriate respect.

grant bay, north island, wind waves, sandy beach, seasons, quiet.....maybe too quiet.

hey flash, is it a case of " the more the merrier" ? I would gladly join eastside and any one else in a personal appearance before the city council.

I use a mutant, very comfortable, but, anything under 8 degrees, and I wear a nylon dry top over the suit, toasty.

I will gladly volunteer for any work on webcams/weather stations, I 'm an installer tech so I have the tools and flexible schedule. Courtenay to ladysmith. PM me if you want my cell phone number.

I remember growing up when seatbelts were optional, as a little kid bouncing up and down on the backseat of the car. I don't think anyone transports their kids like that anymore. Helmuts, Just like seatbelts, you put it on and forget about it.

thanks for the great site, just donated, hope to win some cool specs!

I recently cut off the top to my worn out Bear polar heat, put it over my 5/4 oneill mutant and eliminated the refrigerator evaporator effect on the arms and upper body, ...toasty.
