Hi Alv,

Daniela and I spent another great summer ( our 6th) paddling Johnstone
Strait, Discovery Passage and Nootka Sound off Vancouver Island in our
16.5 ft. PakCanoe. We had fun running with tidal currents in places
like "Hole in the Wall" and "Surge Narrows"...similar to class 2 river
rapids, but with boils, whirlpools and eddies instead of haystacks and
pillows. Our "rubber ducky" (our endearing term) was stable and dry and
much more forgiving than any hard-shell tripping canoe would have been.
The ocean kayakers, watching us from shore, had to wait for slack tide
and quiet waters! This summer we are planning to canoe The Stikine (The
Great River) and the waters of Haida Gwaii...Which brings me to the
question. Do you happen to know of any used or demo PakCanoes in good
condition. Our tripping partners may be interested.

Best Regards; Doug and Daniela Bell
