With an excellent article in the June, 2008 issue of Sea Kayaker about the
changes in control of BC land from Crown to First Nations. Yes... John
Kimantis is someone who is certainly going to make a big impression on
kayakers of BC and the PNW of the USA. And, I expect. everywhere. I just
hope he can make a dent in the way the USA and Canada seem to be moving in
terms of border crossing. I really want to spend a lot of time up there in
the next few years and prefer not to have a hassle when moving back and
forth.

Oh... and marine navigational charts have different scales depending on the
area covered. You can only get so big even for a ship's navigation station.
