How to land here?

How to land here?

I see many pictures from Vancouver Island with pretty rough landings.
We will be there with rented fiber boats (doubles) and I wonder how to land there in the best possible way while treating the boats well . Boats will be fully loaded and the paddlers are not Hulks. So, this looks like first unloading the boats to a large extend? I am more used to places with more beach like camp sites but this is a complete different dimension, also keeping the tide in mind.

How To Fish From A Sea Kayak

Hey everyone,

I recently took some time to film a little video and write down a few practical notes about fishing from a sea kayak.

Just my personal thoughts, where I usually try to fish, and what has worked for me so far around Lofoten.

I mostly use a simple hand line from the kayak and usually catch sei or cod.

Thought it might be useful for anyone planning a trip up here.

Happy to hear what setups or tricks you guys are using out there!

Kayak paddle repair help

I have three AT Oracles that have seen better days. They are all broken in 3 different ways. I'd like suggestions on adhesive to use, as well as how to fix the one with the snapped stem.

1st:

Paddle ferrule is snapped, and the shaft insert is broken. I'd like to fuse it into a 1-piece paddle, but my concern is that I only have about 1.5" of stem to insert and glue. And tips would be appreciated.

2nd:

Paddle the ferrule became unglued and I'd like to glue it back on to use this paddle as a 2-piece again. Suggestions for adhesives please

3rd paddle the ferrule snapped in half so I'm going to fuse it as a 1 piece. Suggestions for adhesive please
