Willing to share without warranty as to their being updated although most are quite new.

Some years we go north and don't need our southern charts and vice versa. So the charts that might be available for a portion anyway of a summer are those south of Nanaimo to the US border or those from Nanaimo north to Port Hardy including all of Desolation Sound, Discovery Passage, Johnstone Strait, and Queen Charlotte Sound.

We would be interested in swapping temporarily some years for charts of the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Islands, and North Coast.

Charts onhand include: 3310-1 to 3310-3 (Gulf Island Strip Chart - missing #4); 3311-1 (Port Moody to Howe Sound); 3311-5 (Grief Point to Desolation Sound); 3312 Jervis Inlet and Desolation Sound (29 pages of charts in a booklet); 3441 (Haro Strait, Boundary Pass and Satellite Channel). For the remainder of the charts listed, see the Canadian Hydrographic Service guide to paper charts of the Pacific Coast at http://www.charts.gc.ca. Other charts in our library are: 3442; 3443; 3459; 3462; 3462; 3473; 3475; 3476; 3478, 3481; 3491; 3493; 3494; 3495; 3515 (Knight Inlet); 3527 (Baynes Sound); 3534 (Plans Howe Sound); 3535 (Plans Malaspina Strait); 3539 (Discovery Passage); 3543 (Cordero Channel); 3544 (Johnstone Strait - Race Passage and Current Passage); 3545 (Johnstone Strait - Port Neville to Robson Bight); 3547 (Queen Charlotte Strait - Eastern Portion); 3548 (Queen Charlotte Strait - Central Portion); 3555 (Plans in Redonda Islands, Loughborough Inlet and Vicinity); 3563 (Sutil Channel to Stuart Island).

Our family (dad, mom, boy 20, girl 17) would like to share 1 or 2 double sea kayaks and related gear (lifejackets, roof rack, etc.) with 1-3 other families, for use on extended summer camping trips and locally during the year. Photo is of a sample type (Current Designs) double sea kayak. We don't have any kayaks yet and would be looking to buy new or used kayaks or share with others who already have them.

Our Catalina 34 sailboat, moored on Granville Island in Vancouver, and its small Universal M35B (marinized Kubota) diesel engine get lots of TLC but can always do with more. This is a strictly voluntary, unpaid opportunity to share in the maintenance of a coastal cruising sailboat and its diesel engine as much or as little as you wish. Proposed number of volunteers: 1-2. Cost: nil. Qualifications: ideally you would know something about rigging or sails or the maintenance of fiberglass boats or diesel engines but none of this is necessary.
