A west coat sea kayaker guide with a whitewater paddling background attempted a trip around Vancouver Island. He had a hard time up the east coast, but did okay, making it to Port Hardy. It is assumed he paddles in the off season to due to his guide career that takes place in the better paddling weather. He made it to San Joseph Bay the other day, but pulled out for good due to rough waters and the problem of negotiating Brooks Peninsula with his declining time window. This may have been a wise decision. Brooks is especially difficult in bad seas with surf break extending well out, and boomers that grow exponentially as you head further out to avoid surf.
