Today I decided to launch from Oak Bay and do a loop around Cadboro Point. A light wind was coming from the South and bringing some unpredictable weather with it, so I was planning to be off the water before the change. It didn't work out that way, but it sure was fun anyway. See all Photos ». Saturday, January 8, 2011.

Today was a great day to be on the water, Sun, surf and whales! I put in at cadboro bay for a quick bit of exercise, The conditions were not great for crossing - too much flood current, so I thought I'd do the good ol oak bay circuit. I thought I might slingshot around Mary Tod and into the flood for a nice ride home. The sea delivered, The middle of Baynes was running like crazy, adding about 2 knots to my speed! I love it when a plan comes together. The wind began to stiffen a bit on the return tri...

Adventures on the Blue: And it's gone - Victoria BC Sea Kayak Blog and Travel Journal

My kayak has been stolen from my car :( It was stolen around 7-10pm on Thursday, January 3 from the 1100 block of Pacific Street in Vancouver. It's a mango deck Nimbus Telkwa. I'm totally stunned - somehow they got through the lock and straps on a very busy main road in Vancouver. They busted up one side of my roof rack doing it too! Who the hell steals a kayak anyway. I'm super bummed - screw 2013 already. Thursday, January 3, 2013. I live in Victoria, British Columbia. It's on the south coast of Va...

John and I met up today for a short but sweet paddle in portage inlet. The cold snap had officially arrived and even paddling in the protected confines of the Gorge, it was f* * cold! We started off the morning with beautiful clear skies with about 10-15 knots of wind from the Northwest. We were just gonna play the route by ear. John and I were pretty busy taking photos today - and nothing caught our eye more than swans! Old man winter was still blowing across the water and making every molecule of me co...

The current under the Tillicum bridge was about a 2kt flood, so it was a bit dicey looking. Some kids were up on the cliff beside the bridge yelling, "you're gonna fall in." Not tonight though. the water was all going in one direction and wasn't much of a challenge to overcome. I paddled out the other side and waved back to the kids as I paddled toward the inner harbour. I pulled out at VCKC and retained the giant grin on my face until I finally slept. How awesome is that? See all Photos ».

So this year I'm pledging to spend more time on the water and less on the more nerdy pursuits of mine, but we'll have to see how that pans out. Today I met John, Louise and Paula on the beach and got ready. I took the kayak down from the car and it was just full of ice! Hefted it onto my shoulder and unloaded the unwanted ice shards from the cockpit and rear compartment. looks like the rear hold is not water tight, so a trip to the kayak store is imminent.
