Just got back from Tofino after some great kayaking and whale watching in this area.
See the latest post on my blog for details, pictures and clips.
Me again :-)
Just came across the following review of 7 water-proof cameras that might be of interest to a lot of members.
See Imaging Resources
Thanks to Hans Heupink for the information.
If you want to see kayaking pictures taken with an Olympus 1030SW, see my blog for numerous recent pictures, many of which taken in the spectacular Georgian Bay area
Blog updated with details and lots of pictures of our expedition on Georgian Bay last week.
See my blog for details.
Etches is roughly SW of Jaws & Crab islands. It's the outermost island in that general area. The UTM coordinates (1000m Zone 17, NAD 27) are 702907.
On my PEI map from Chrismar, North East Hawk is that largest of the Hawk islands and the closest on…
Marc, glad to hear you had such a successful trip.
Have not yet done my annual GB trek, and may not this year (off to The Galapagos instead.)
Where is Etches?
Just to orient my other question, when you say North East Hawk, I believe that is ne of…
Just got back tonight from another great trip to Georgian Bay. This time, we spent 3-days & 3-nights, came back a early due to rain & storms forecasted on the last day. This time, we camped on Etches, North East Hawk and West Fox islands. Funny enou…
Brand is only one factor in buying a kayak, there are many others you need to consider, including trying it out before buying, to make sure you feel comfortable in it.
If you don't know where to start, try this Kayak Wizard to narrow down your choi…

Hi Ed,
Great looking kayak! I'm curious, did you realize the straps on your front hatch were loose when you the picture was taken?
It's a good think you didn't roll your kayak, I imagine the front compartment would have filled-up pretty quickly.!
You're absolutely right, I probably over-plan my trips sometimes...for a number of reasons: I enjoy planning for a trip, it's part of the adventure; I'd rather see the best spots instead of missing them; I'm somewhat of a planner by trade also :-)…
Not sure if you're intent is to paddle in the French River area of Georgian Bay or if you're open to suggestions elsewhere in the Bay. I've done one trip to the Philip Edwards Island area and another to the Mink & McCoy Islands. Both are good choice…
Sorry, when I said Potage Island in my reply, I meant Green Island.
It sounds like you may over-plan your trips. We just get in the kayak and go... and we always end up somewhere beautiful.
Over several trips we have camped on the Hawk and the Fox islands (as well as at Big Rock Portage and several other places on…
Here's an inspiring adventure that just got underway today: a 19 year-old paddling 440 miles solo over 3 weeks without any support in an attempt to raise $5000 for cancer research.
Here is what his trip looks like on map

Must have Crazy-Glued his sprayskirt to the kayak! If the paddle was the only thing broken by the fall, he can't complain how this stunt turned out for him. Good video coverage!
