Evening Paddle

Yesterday was an awesome evening for a paddle around Newcastle Island (Saysutshun). We joined the local Search & Rescue team and had a blast. Kayaking is a great way to get together and keep a social distance.

Kayaking during Covid-19

6/6/2020

0 Comments

We believe kayaking during the Covid-19 pandemic is possible if we take some precautions and things into consideration. Island Römer Adventures created an information document for customers including a video on how to kayak during Covid-19. Off course we will only guide a tour when we do not have Covid-19 symptoms and expect this from our customers as well. The group size will be limited to you and your extended social circle. and we will not provide food or drinks during the tour. And off course, we will maintain our social distance meaning you have to help each other getting in and out of kayaks, adjust foot paddles etc. Click the button to see the compele information.

Pink Moon Paddle

On 7 April we had a super pink moon rise around sunset. So we headed out to the Winchelsea Islands (just north of Nanaimo, Vancouver Island) to watch this phenomenon. It was an awesome sight, the moon was really big when it appeared above the horizon. We had a break on one of the islands to have a good look. The paddle back was completely in the dark with bio-luminescence all around us. A magical evening, check out the video!

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak we do a lot of paddling ourselves; yesterday we decided to head for Pirate's Cove on DeCourcy Island. Later in the afternoon a lot of animals are getting more active especially during a low tide. We spotted River Otters, Sea Lions and also this Raccoon....I have never had one of those so close to my kayak.

Herring Spawn

We just had an unusual herring spawn in Nanaimo. Usually, this happens earlier in the year and a bit more up north. The herring creates this milky-green water and suddenly the ocean is teemed with life; California sea lions are gorging on herring and gulls and Bald Eagles try to catch the scraps. A true delight to paddle through this marvel of nature. Enjoy the video.

We love paddling in winter; this is the time the sea-lions are out!! Today they were really close and even swam underneath our boat leaving a bubble trail. Lots of splashing and oinking around us. Would you like to experience this as well?
