In The Same Boat
Only a little more than a week has passed since Canoe Country's longest day, and the swelling dawn chorus is a harbinger of even warmer weather to come. The paddling season is well under way.

Johnstone Strait Orcas (BC)
by Sea Kayak Adventures
Johnstone Strait off northern Vancouver Island BC Canada is without a doubt the best place in North America to see orcas, with 250 resident orcas congregating there each July-Sept. For this reason, and the sheltered location, this trip is a supreme introduction to the wonders of wildlife viewing by sea kayak. Our guides will awe you with their cooking and knowledge of the local ecosystems. We will hike, visit an orca research field station and important cultural village site during this loop tour. Orca sighting guaranteed July 20-Sept 7, or we'll send you on a 3-hour orca watching cruise for free.

Product Review Spotlight
Manitou 14 by Necky Kayaks
1st impressions: Attractive, reasonably light, bomb-proof durability, and EXCELLENT value for the money! Probably the thing that has impressed me most is how my 5'1" wife has taken to it... she is by no means a watersports person, and the Manitou has proven to be a stable and comfortable craft for her. They track exceptionally well. I only find the skeg to be necessary if the wind comes up... Rating: 8 of 10 by getmoresoon
