Yelllowknife a fine starting point for your Great Slave journeys(and beyond)

Yellowknife is the perfect spot to start a trip on the lake. Historically many famous Arctic Explorations used the Lake as a starting point. From Yellowknife if you paddle hard enough you can reach three oceans. This involves some long trips, but they have been done before with gear no where near as nice as the stuff we have now.
Come on up and play much worse ways to spend your vacation you can be sure of that. Cheers, Greg

In cse you werewondering the Paddlers of great Slave lake oppose the daming of the Slave river now and in the future. Proposed dams onthe Slave and Mackenzie rivers offer no benefit to Canadians that would bear the damage created by such projects. We are also oppposed to the enlargement of the Alberta Tarsands.

Since we have such a long off season now is a good time to start mapping out next season. I can think of a few very interesting tips some long and longer and a few short but sweet.

todaybis supposed to be +5 and sunny. still plenty of room on the lake to squeeze in a paddle. I plan on taking advantage of the warm snap and putting Sploosh to use. See you on the water.

It is chilly on the big lake but the paddling is still good for awhile. Hope to get out abit this week. Just remember folkd to dress for very cold water just in case something should go amiss,you will want to be ready for it.

Jay will be starting a solo North Arm Trip from Bechecko to Yellowknife this evening. Patrick and I will shuttle him out this eveing around 17:00 hours and he should get in a 3 hour paddle before he camps. should things go well for him he should camp in Old Ft.Rae this evening and start the paddle down the arm in the morning. He is planning on an eight day run, this should give him plenty of time to sunbath(if he is lucky) and to fish. He should be back at my dock in a week Cheers, Cominco

Jay will be paddling my kayak Sploosh on a solo trip from Becheko to Yellowknife leaving Friday night. Patrick and I will shuttle him to Rae and then he is on his own for the next week or so. The weather should improve by Friday but it could be worse.
