Hi Folks,

Thanks for the info and suggestions on paddling destinations, Vancouver 
Island has certainly got a lot of votes from Paddlewisers.

Now another question regarding WHEN to go. I had thought about coming up to 
do some paddling in September-ish before travelling.

However, if I came over in August/September, travelled in Canada, Alaska, 
and the northern US with my wife, and then did a couple of weeks paddling to 
include the Lumpy Waters Symposium on the Oregon Coast in mid-October, 
http://www.lumpywaters.com/, would I be likely to have issues with 
holidays/seasons/bugs etc?

I noted on the Lumpy Waters website that everyone was wearing a drysuit in 
October, I guess there's a good reason for that!

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Cheers

JKA
