Nigel Foster Presentation: Polar Tides

Potluck at 6pm, followed by Nigel Foster  presentation "On Polar Tides".

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. 

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.
