22 Kayak Kits: Final Episode Ta-da! The final episode of our kayak kit building adventure displays our builders and their final (or at least floating) works of art. Bert finished in May; Dave, Dale & Tina have beautiful looking boats that just need the finishing touches.


26 Kouchibouguac National Park NB Cindy Ross and her family hooked up with a guide in New Brunswick to commune with the common terns and grey seals off the shore of Kouchibouguac National Park. It’s an easy, fun and educational trip for parents and kids.


32 The West Coast Trail by Water Rick Hudson takes us to the infamous West Coast Trail in a more luxurious, soft style adventure. The trail is known more for its hiking than its paddling but Rick shows us that the trail has a side more civilized than bushwhacking, bug swatting and bog camping.

40 Trailering Your Boat Trying to load your sea kayak on the roof of your SUV can be the most precarious position for your boat and you. Utility trailers are light and with a bit of practice a great alternative to trying to get your boat above your head without scratching and denting your vehicle, your kayak and your head.
