Kayak Salt Spring's mission is to provide family-oriented, educational, and environmentally friendly kayaking adventures that promote the natural beauty and preservation of Salt Spring Island's wilderness. According to Salt Spring Island Tourism, Salt Spring: "is a world class kayaking destination. The waters and islands surrounding Salt Spring are teeming with wildlife, are relatively sheltered w

ith calm waters and receive the best weather on the coast with almost year-round kayaking potential!"

John grew-up playing on the shores of the Salish Sea then earned degrees in biology and education from the University of Victoria. He is a cofounder of Oak and Orca Bioregional School in Victoria, where he worked for 8 years as Science Teacher and Field Trip Coordinator. He is certified as a guide by the Sea Kayak Guides Alliance of B.C. and as an instructor by Paddle Canada. Caroline, who has a background in education and small business management, is coordinating the trips from home. We have a small fleet of kayaks that include Delta 14s for singles and Delta 20 Tandems for families and couples.

We are very excited to be partnering with Pacific Action Sail Systems. We expect to have some of their sails installed and tested by early summer. At that time we will be offering some great new tour options.

New for next year! We will be putting all our tips towards the purchase of 3 Falcon sails and the hardware needed to use them on singles and tandems. Estimated cost $3000. This new equipment will be perfect for use in Long Harbour on those windy days when it's too rough to do our regular tours.

Growing up, I didn't think much about birds. To me there were only three kinds of birds: robins, ducks and seagulls. It wasn't until my twenty-first year that birds diversified for me.

Did a little trip to Duncan on Sunday to renew my first aid. After catching the 6am ferry, I had sometime to wander around before the course. This caboose, which was retired in 1982, used to run up to Lake Cowichan when I was young. This is probably the one that I used watch go by when I was a kid. John Topham

Celebrating 100 commercial kayaking days. The photos are from my first kayak tour with Alberni Outpost in Nanaimo and my 100th tour (for Kayak Salt Spring). I have had the great pleasure of taking hundreds of people out on kayaking trips on BC's beautiful south coast.
