Dave Crerar's BC report

This year unlike most I had the opportunity to stay in Canada rather
than head home and continue University. Having finished last May it
meant I could do what all boaters want to do and keep boating. This
September I hoped into a car after another great summer on the
Ottawa, and made the trip out west to visit the legendary
Skookumchuck. IT was amazing, although the lines were super long, you
could take the risk of taking a tour through the boils and whirlpool
if you surfed the outside shoulder, this is what I did and I was
definitely ready for that burger at the end of the week. After Skook
I met up with some more Ottawa friends and they showed me around BC
where we creeked on a bunch of lovely rivers. It is a big change from
Ireland not only in the size of the rivers but also teh fact that you
randomly see bears stomping around banks and take out roads, needless
to say myself and the other foreigners were pretty scared. At the
moment I am studying up for a season as a ski patrol here in BC, and
hopefully will see you all in Vail this spring.
