Thai Noodles
A slightly spicy classic that almost everyone likes. It’s a quick and tasty meal that will make 4 very healthy portions. Great in cold or rainy weather!!

Your Bed (Page 19)
A good night's rest is essential. You will not rest well if you have an uncomfortable bed. A little effort here pays off in beautiful slumber hours. Clear away any rocks or obstructions. Cut yourself a supply of spruce or balsam boughs for your mattress.

Warm Welcome To All New and Returning Club Members
We currently have over 280 club members registered for the 2012 paddling season, including over 70 new members and several "ex-members" from years gone by that are returning to paddling this year. Welcome all, to what we hope will be another great year of paddling adventures.
Thanks to an abnormally early thaw, the paddling season has already started BUT lets not forget that the water is still COLD. If you no longer find yourself listed as a current (2012) year club member it is likely because all unrenewed 2011 memberships lapsed as of April 30 th., and, in accordance with the Club Constitution, have therefore been deleted.

Constance Creek, An Early Season Paddle
 |
Once it was confirmed that the ice was off the creek, a bunch of flatwater paddlers set out on Sunday morning, March 25th to paddle Constance Creek,, not sure if its a record as an early seaon trip, thanks to the recent heat wave, but it was the first trip of the year and a goodly chance to get warmed up and stretch out those long dormant muscles. For our efforts we got to see a HUGE Blue Herron, groups of Canada Geese (home at last from southern climes) a soaring Eagle and several turtles and many 'plopping' fish. |
Having fun on my “SUP”
Last summer I introduced a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) into my life... and its full speed ahead - no looking back! My paddleboard is 11’6” long, 30” wide and weighs in at 29 lbs which is a whole 100 lbs lighter than me. Weight was a hugely important factor in buying my SUP as I consider myself a “lightweight” paddler who had become a tad disheartened struggling with the weight of throwing much too heavy flatwater or whitewater canoes around or loading them on my vehicle.
