Interested in a half lap or so of Vancouver Island? I'm considering a put-in during May 2000 in Johnstone Strait, paddling north to Cape Scott then south to Barkley Sound, possibly in to Victoria or Anacortes. Typical paddling distances of 12-20 miles per day, with a few days significantly longer. Surf landings and launchings at various beaches. Plenty of rest days and fishing. Total milage about 500 or 600 miles. Estimated time 6-8 weeks, depending on weather and take-out. Exact starting date TBD. I'm seeking to identify a couple of paddling partners ASAP, for get-to-know and warm-up trips this year. Respondents should have adequate skills and endurance, be good team members, and enjoy a monotonous diet of powdered milk, powdered lemonade, rice, buckwheat pancakes, brownies and fresh rockfish in Thai curry sauce. EMT skills a plus. If interested, reply with a brief bio. and an outline of your expected trip schedule for this year, if known.

I'm hoping to get some more experience. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Mar 24 1999 - 09:05:25 PST
