Thurdsay, April 15, 12021 HE Things were slow at work this week and with coronavirus-related cancellations, I was able to have a personal day. Funnily I received a message from Peter Wednesday night asking if there any chance that I was off Thursday. I was originally planning to paddle the TNR#2 course in Deep Cove. But with theContinueContinue reading “Paddle. Point. Grey. Whale.”

Span-Kit Downwinder
Saturday, April 10, 12021 HE The forecast was calling for a westerly wind with some waves in the bay! We had an outdoor birthday party to attend in the morning at Cates Park in North Vancouver. So I was keen to do some market research for what the afternoon waters might look like further outContinueContinue reading “Span-Kit Downwinder”
Pacific Cold Front Downwinder
Sunday, March 28, 12021 HE I had been eyeing the weekend weather forecast for a few days. My question was which days would I be able to get out for a paddle. In my mind, I had concluded that a Saturday Monday split would work best despite Sunday having the strongest winds. But with theContinueContinue reading “Pacific Cold Front Downwinder”
Cringing Camera Creations
Saturday, March 27, 12021 HE I missed getting out for a maiden voyage with Wil yesterday morning. But I was inspired to get out this morning. So was Wil, but unfortunately my hall pass was earlier than his. I decided to launch from Locarno Beach and head east. There was an easterly wind that was forecasted toContinueContinue reading “Cringing Camera Creations”
Hyperlapse Downwind
Monday, March 22, 12021 HE I have been thinking about getting a camera for my paddleboard for some time now. Generally, I just pack my cell phone inside a waist dry bag so that I have it for easy access. But a nice to have (definitely not a need to have) accessory would be a camera mountedContinueContinue reading “Hyperlapse Downwind”
Jug Island Deep Cove
Saturday, March 13, 12021 HE The view from Lowry Waterfront Park towards Boulder Island. I was able to get away for a paddle so I decided to check out Indian Arm again. Some of the very first paddlings that I ever did was in Indian Arm years ago. My wife and I rented a kayak from Cates ParkContinueContinue reading “Jug Island Deep Cove”
Vanier Park ‘Hosedown’
Monday, March 8, 12021 HE The weather was great! A sign of the pending season change. After some quick morning errands, I was able to get out on the water. There was a bit of a westerly wind with the tide going out so I decided to paddle from Vanier Park. This would give me theContinueContinue reading “Vanier Park ‘Hosedown’”
Slhx̱í7lsh (Standing Man) Rock 2.0
Saturday, February 27, 12021 HE With the clear skies, I decided to do another trip out to Slhx̱í7lsh (Standing Man) Rock. I did the same paddle last week with overcast skies. The moon was out and full so I ended up seeing the moonset and sunrise. While out on the water in the crisp morning air on a peacefulContinueContinue reading “Slhx̱í7lsh (Standing Man) Rock 2.0”
Night Time Paddle
Thursday, February 25, 12021 HE Peter and I got out for a short, mid-week, twilight paddle. We left from the Spyglass Dock. It was almost a full moon and with the city lights, the visibility was pretty good. We did a quick paddle down to the northeast end of False Creek then back out to Stamps Landing Dock before returningContinueContinue reading “Night Time Paddle”
Slhx̱í7lsh (Standing Man) Rock 1.0
Sunday, February 21, 12021 HE I took advantage of the lengthening days and paddled from Vanier Park to Slhx̱í7lsh (Standing Man) rock. This the essentially the northernmost point that you can paddle to before the restricted seaway leading to the Port of Vancouver. I was informed of this last summer when I errantly paddled in the area. Slhx̱í7lsh or “standing man” is the translationContinueContinue reading “Slhx̱í7lsh (Standing Man) Rock 1.0”
