April 29, 2008 - Leave No Trace -- and Washington Water Trails campsites 

Marlla Mhoon, an SSKC member who has paddled and kayak-camped extensively both locally and abroad, is an educator as well as a certified Leave No Trace trainer. She'll tell us how to be careful with our food . . . and other more delicate matters.

Reed Waite, Washington Water Trails Association's Executive Director, will also be on hand to tell us more about that group, and the fantastic system of Cascadia Marine Trail campsites throughout the Puget Sound region.

Jan. 29, 2008 – Tebenkof Bay Wilderness

Speaker for the Fleet Randy Brook leads a small but intrepid band of paddlers into a little-known but delightful Southeast Alaska bay filled with whales, sea otters, eagles and other birds, and no other people. Watch how experienced paddlers have learned to live the easy life, where  the biggest challenge is having the fresh baked scones still hot when the wild smoked salmon omelet is ready. 

Feb. 26, 2008 - Canadian Gulf Islands

For a kayak trip that’s international yet close to home, British Columbia’s Gulf Islands offer a lovely and easy-to-reach destination, as seven SSKC members found last summer. Member Carole Trout presented a digital slide show of a paddling trip in these beautiful islands just north of the Canadian border.
