Daypaddle
Sea kayak day trips planned around the day's tides, currents and wind. An iPhone app, a deck display and a logger box are in development.
Plan a paddle
Available
Pick a day, a launch time and how hard the water may be, and see which destinations around southern Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands suit it, with each route's legs read against that day's wind and estimated currents.
iPhone app
In development
Records a paddle: position and speed, and the phone's motion and heading in a deck mount. It connects to the Daypaddle logger and downloads its sessions. Planned: a recap of each outing, with training detail such as heart rate.
Deck display
In development
A sunlight-readable e-ink screen in a waterproof bag on the deck, showing what the logger measures and nearby ships, and later a map of the area, your track and the day's launch and lunch spots.
Logger
In development
A small box that rides rigidly in the kayak and logs GPS, motion and heading on every paddle, so recorded outings can teach the planner how the water actually ran.
