Kayaking In British Columbia

I visited Vancouver British Columbia quite a few times but I never got the chance to go and explore and do any kayaking. I really wanted to get to go out kayaking. Kayaking in British Columbia is supposed to be utterly amazing. I want to get back out there someday and do some kayaking in a place where I could potentially be kayaking near Orcas.

While I love Cape Cod it just isn’t the great northwest. There is just something about being able to kayak alongside whales and in places where you could possibly see bears. There is a place called Johnstone Strait where there are 220 resident Orcas. In addition there are dolphins, sea lions, harbor seals, minke whales, eagles and black bears. I could take some amazing photos if I could get out that way. I’d love to do that someday, so I’m going to start saving for an expedition out to the northwest.

I found this website called Spirit of the West Adventures. I was looking for different logos because David Airey is redesigning a logo for me for this blog. How awesome is that? Actually since I have no logo for this site he’s designing one. I won it in his wicked awesome $4,000 contest.

Blog: South West Sea Kayaking

I have been spending a great deal of time on FuelMyBlog lately because I have three blogs listed there. This blog, The BenSpark, and Flatwater. I have been exploring the other kayaking blogs that are listed on FuelMyBlog. And this one, South West Sea Kayaking is one of my favorites. It gets that honor because what the blog author is doing is something I dream about being able to do in my life, around here not in the UK.

Mark Rainsley is the author of this blog, South West Sea Kayaking, as well as an upcoming book that will be a guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol channel to the Isle of Wight. The blog will be chronicling the year 2007 at Sea as well as updates on the progress of Mark’s book. I am very envious of Mark’s task ahead. He will be researching, photographing and writing his sea kayaking guide this year. I just started following his blog and have begun to read through the archives. I am grateful that Mark posts many pictures. They are very nice pictures and sure make we want to get out on the water. I am looking forward to reading about Mark’s year and his progress on the book. And once it is done I’ll be looking to buying a copy.
