Səl̓ilw̓ət SUP to Thywates Landing
Saturday, May 13, 12023 Human Era (HE) Common Interests, Common People A few years ago while researching for stand up paddleboarding (SUP) destination ideas, I came across the Outdoor Family Blog.

Deep Cove Demo Day
Saturday, April 15, 12023 Human Era (HE) Background Story Last spring I bit the bullet and bought a new board. Well, new to me. I bought a second-hand board.

Project Paddle: Day 6 (Alouette Lake)
Saturday, March 18, 12023 Human Era (HE) Back (s) to (ry) Project Paddle I first came up with the idea of trying to circumnavigate some select lakes in the Vancouver area last winter.

Middle Arm Swishwash
Sunday, March 12, 12023 Human Era (HE) Paddle Preamble After coming across this article in the Richmond News, I have wanted to check out the Sto:lo (Fraser River) Middle Arm.

Gusty Northwesterly

A combination of a strong pressure gradient and an unstable airmass meant gusty northwesterly winds to the British Columbia south coast for Monday.

What’s in a Name?
Tuesday, January 24, 12023 Human Era (HE) “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Spoken by Juliet, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2 Big Bill and the Rose What’s in a name? On this one, I have to go against Big Bill.…
King Tide Surge in the Queen Charlotte Channel
Monday, December 26, 12022 HE Yuletide Musings Merry Christmas! And to the non-practicing christ-ians amongst us, I still hope your appropriated holy day holiday was merry and cheerful.

Hawai’i (The Big Island) Getaway
November/December 12022 HE Before the coronavirus pandemic, we used to travel with what had become an annual fall tropical getaway. Remember those times?
