Sea Kayak Celebration: Gear Grab, Potluck and More - Mountaineers Tacoma Program Center

Nigel Foster is a world-renowned sea kayaker. He is an instructor, guide, kayak designer and writer living in Seattle and has authored numerous books on kayaking and his kayak adventures.

In 2004, Foster returned to northern Labrador with his then girlfriend (now wife) Kristin Nelson. Launching from Kuujjuaq in Northern Quebec, the couple paddled the Ungava Bay coast—which has one of the largest tidal variances in the world—to the place Foster had boarded an oil tanker 23 years earlier. From this remote location, the couple completed the trip to Nain that Foster originally planned for 1981. They encountered more polar bears than people.

For potluck, bring some real food, ideally not real processed. We'll have a section for vegan choices. Bring your own cutlery and dishes to minimize the amount of waste.

Tacoma Program Center Great Hall, 6:00pm. Potluck begins at 6:15, presentation starts at 7:00pm and ends at 8:00pm. Nigel can sign books for those who are interested after that.
