Thanks :D Nice to meet you too. I was with my cousins and saw that they were getting really bored sitting on the beach so I called it a day. I was watching the graph and I knew it was better after I left but at least I got a squamish session today for 2.5 hours and hopefully all day tomorrow as well :D Any tips on 313s I want to try some tomorrow :D

It's about a 10 min easy swim if you deflate your main bladder but keep your struts inflated then roll up and wrap your harness around them.

Is that all? My dad was deciding whether to swim back or not but decided not to. Probably a good decision not to swim across with the water problem right now. That would be a great way to find out how bad the water really is :lol:

Does anyone know if the water has been deemed safe by the authorities?

"Residents and visitors are asked not to access beach areas at the Oceanfront (Nexen Beach), the wind sports spit, and along the Mamquam Blind Channel due to potential fire debris hazards. It is recommended to avoid the water, beaches and waterfront area, especially with dogs and children."
That is what it says on the Squamish website. It updates some time this morning again so check Squamish.ca later for the update. The water seemed fine yesterday and I feel fine this morning.
