Summer Trips
for
 2009

As of Saturday, 13 February 2010

Please Note: You must be a current member of the Barrie Canoe & Kayak Club to participate in club trips and activities. Please provide your membership number when registering for trips and outings. The sign up sheets will be at the Monday night paddle events (also posted online). Since these are “interest only” sheets, members must still contact the trip leader for each outing. You are responsible for contacting the trip leader well in advance of the trip date to express your interest in participating.  For safety reasons, the trip leader has the final say about who goes on their trips. Participants must assume all risks associated with the activity and must provide the trip leader with a signed Medical/Emergency Information Form prior to the trip. Non-members are entitled to participate as a guest of a member on one day-trip per year and must sign the Waiver of General Liability and provide a Medical/Emergency Information Form to the trip leader prior to the trip beginning.

 “Basic” means you must be able to control your boat in tandem with another paddler.  It does not necessarily mean that you must have certification - please clarify skills required with Trip Leader prior to confirming your participation.

Basic AB – O.R.C.K.A. Flatwater Level AB is a prerequisite.

SEA KAYAKING CLASSIFICATIONS:

Pace/Endurance describing the strength, endurance and fitness required to comfortably complete the trip:

A -   Not Strenuous:  Daily paddling typically less than 3 hours, with distances of 10 kilometers or less.

B -   Moderately Strenuous:  Daily paddling, typically between 3 and 5 hours, with distances of 10 to 20 km.

C -   Strenuous:  Daily paddling typically more than 5 hours, with distances of 20 kilometers or more.

Skills Required describing the paddling skills and seamanship required to handle safely the situations that could be encountered on the trip. 

1. Novice:  Requires basic-paddling skills, practiced wet exits.  Expect protected waters, easy landings, and shelter for resting.

2. Intermediates:  Requires basic paddling skills including the ability to brace, self-rescue, and participate in assisted rescues, comfortable in one-meter waves.  Mostly protected waters, some difficult landings, and some sheltered spots for resting.

3. Experienced:  Requires advanced paddling, seamanship and rescue skills.  Ability to handle waves greater than 1 meter.  Expect exposed waters, open crossings, large waves, and moderate to strong winds, surf, fog, and potentially difficult landings.  Sheltered resting and landing spots could be few.

4. Expert:  Requires advance paddling, seamanship and rescue skills.  Ability to roll is strongly recommended. Expect long open crossings, rugged and exposed coast, large waves, strong winds, surf, turbulent water, fog and difficult landings.

 

The term “exploratory” indicates the organizer has not been on the planned route or in the area before.  Therefore, trip conditions cannot be predicted from past experience.

 

NOTE:  Trips are classified in advance.  Weather conditions may make it necessary to modify these classifications on the day of the

event.

Time: 11:30 sharp,


Trippers: Before you make or break a commitment to go on a BCKC trip, please consider the impact on the Trip Leader and other participants. A lot of planning goes into these trips, and if you cancel after the planning meeting, a great deal of reorganization has to take place. It is certainly not fair to our wonderful Trip Leaders who give so much of their own time to lead these trips. Please be considerate!
