I have a dream to do this one day. It is very far off, to be sure. But I want to prepare for my dream, even if it will not take place for many years. My wife and I are experienced sea kayakers. I've been looking at websites, and can't seem to find one piece of crucial info: How long a distance is it? What is the circumference? At this stage, just playing with the idea, but I'll certainly have lots of questions for you, particularly those in BC and those living in the Island... And if you feel like commenting on the idea, or whatever, feel free.

Once Leon Somme gets back from his circumnavigation of Iceland with Chris Duff and Shawna Franklin you might want to get in touch with him. I believe he has circumnavigated Vancouver island and would be a good resource and front what I've seen meeting him a couple of times would likely be more than happy to share any information and tips. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Hi everybody, up to now I'm just a consumer of Paddlewise and like it. Joshuas dream is just one of my dreams. I hope I can give you some info until a more accurate one is available. I found that it shold be something araound 1150 Km +, from what I checked out of a map John Fereira wrote > Once Leon Somme gets back from his circumnavigation of Iceland with Chris > Duff and Shawna Franklin you might want to get in touch with him.

If I remember it right he said that the complete trip took him 28 days. Joshua if you should get some usefull infos back channel I would be happy if you could share them with me.

That's right, saw the article on TV the other night. I bet he really doesn't have a clue to what he is getting into. As for paddling around Vancouver Islnad, there have been so many people doing it in the last few years one should put up street lights.

I had the same dream scenario, but decided most of the inside was dispensable, so I'm hoping to do just from Port Hardy around the outside and back in to Anacortes, WA. I was close to doing this a few years ago and did some planning, but had to abort. Maybe next year... One decent reference may be: Exploring Vancouver Island's West Coast by Don Douglass, Reanne Hemingway-Douglass I believe there is a companion volume for the inside. These are written for cruising boats, so much of the emphasis on quality of anchorage is irrelevant. There is still a lot of description of the conditions on various routes that seems to be useful, and the distances on the water between various stops are listed, though a paddlers route will often be shorter. Kirby's maps have better detail of points of interest. Mike Wagenbach __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
