11 friends paddle around 11 lakes (Bowron Provincial Park) in 7 seven days. Photos of the paddlers and a photo gallery are included. Murray's here. It's time to load up the boats." Those words were music to my ears. My biggest worry about the trip was getting the tandem kayak I rented from the University of Calgary up to Edmonton. I mean we're talking about a 22 foot boat on top of a Ford Taurus here.
Anyways, it was time to load up. We decided to load a canoe and one of the single kayaks on top of Murray's car for the ride out to BC. That left four kayaks (two tandems, and two singles) to put on top of John's truck. Now I know John's got a pretty good sized truck, but I couldn't see us fitting four boats on its roof rack. Then I SAW the roof rack. Let's just say that four boats would be no problem.

A story about circumnavigating Vancouver Island in the S.V. Patience in 1995/96. Includes a route map. Around Vancouver Island (AVI) is an entertaining story about circumnavigating Vancouver Island, British Columbia. If you like a good sea or adventure story, or are planning on sailing the waters around Vancouver Island, you will probably enjoy this tale. While we sailed around Vancouver Island, we visited places like Nootka, Hot Springs Cove, Barkley Sound, Nanaimo and Cape Scott. We saw literally dozens of eagles. We saw both killer and humpback whales. At the end of the trip, I made a mistake of judgement and nearly got us into some serious trouble in the rip tides off Point Wilson in the Puget Sound.

Tony visits Toronto for a weekend trip in May 1998. went up to Toronto to get out of the US cheaply and (relatively) easily for just a few days. Toronto is known as "Toronto the Good" because in the forties and fifties it was known as a bastion of Victorian morals and goody twoshoe do-goodism. It was also hugely anglophilic, and dull. Then came waves of immigrants, and they loosened the place up. Now you could call this multicultural vibrant but down to earth metropolis "Toronto the Great". Besides, the exchange rate for the US dollar was too good to resist

In eight days, two young Belgians canoe the Clearwater River in Northern Alberta. This canoe-trip starts in Ft. McMurray a 'oil'-town in the northern part of Alberta and was the product of a lot of emails between Belgium and Canada, Points North Adventures more in particular the outdoor organisation Points North Adventures which provides us the canoes, food supplies and has booked a float plane for flying us upstream the river.These people are really professionals and give us a lot of usefull information about the river, the region, the wildlife and many more. John Semple, the person who is running the business together with Anita, his wife, even went out with us to buy the appropriate supplies!
