Wave and Range Cortes Island has decided it’s time to go public. 

“This year we’re going to be putting on the Cortes adventure challenge, essentially a Cortes triathlon:  It’s a kayak or a canoe, a swim and a trek.  We’ve got a short course, and a long course. That’ll be on the 12th and the 21st of July, tentatively. I’ll need to confirm those dates with you, but  we’ll advertise that. We’ll do a little bit of lead up training for that,” explained Kay Hope.

“There’s an opportunity with where we live to have not so much a love affair, but like a marriage with the physical place that we live in.  I think  a majority of us are really disconnected from our biophysical reality. All sorts of things have unfortunately corrupted a lot of people away from a connection with their body  and the environment. I’m just trying to foray back into that. I think there’s a big opportunity for all of us to just keep doubling down on hiking up Easter Bluff, going to Mansons Lagoon, getting a sweat on, but then exploring in, around and up Desolation Sound. The beauty we have around us, it’s really underutilized by us as a community together.  I don’t want to go out and just be exploring by myself. I’d love to go out on the weekend and see more kayaks than I see power boaters. That’s my wish, and my wish for my baby boy.”
