Vancouver Island Presentation
Tonight I heard a great presentation on a journey paddling around Vancouver Island. Roy Massena gave a talk about his 34 day journey around the island with some friends they did in 2007. He mixed in some good safety messages and talked about the logistics. But he also told some great stories about the people he met along the way. Some really cool stories about the First Nations people that he met along the way. Unfortunately there is also the account of a man they met paddling near Brooks Peninsula. The man was completely not prepared for the exposed paddle he was setting out on. He was lacking on the necessary skills and equipment. Roy later learned that this paddler was lost at sea and never seen again on this very same paddle. There is a trip report with lots of cool photos. A good read when you have the time to sit down for a bit.
