Vancouver International Boat Show,

Feb 09 to 13, 2006

A great success!

All of us at White Squall Consulting Inc. would like to express our sincere thanks to the many visitors that made a point of stopping at the Icom Canada booth at the recent Vancouver International Boat Show to meet with us!

We were very pleased with the level of interest in our SCS Pactor Modem display and enjoyed discussing the many possible system applications.

 Many thanks also to the great staff at Icom Canada for all of their kind support during the show!


Vancouver International Boat Show:

Feb 09 to 13, 2006.

We will be providing data communications support to Icom Canada during the Vancouver International Boat Show and will be located in the Icom Canada booth.

 We will have an SCS Pactor modem interfaced to an IC M802 HF SSB  Marine Transceiver with a lap top PC running Airmail connected to the modem.  This will enable us to demonstrate Pactor system setup and operation.

As there will only be two of us representing White Squall Consulting Inc. this year we will not be available in the Icom Canada booth for the entire show, but our plan at this time is to be in the booth between 1300 and 2000 hrs. daily.  The Icom Canada personnel in the booth will be familiar with our schedule, so please check with them for any changes.

If you would like to contact  us at any time during the show we can be reached on our cell phones at :

Martin 250-246-8022

April 01, 2005:  We've Moved!

At the end of March 2005 we moved from Sidney to the Maple Bay Marina in Maple Bay (about 6 km east of Duncan). 

Maple Bay offers us a very much better location to service our floating clients as our current location is on the scenic well traveled route between Sidney and Nanaimo.  Be sure to visit us for all of your marine communication needs. 

To help us provide you with better service, please contact us before your visit by landline or e-mail to discuss your requirements and book an appointment .

You will find the Maple Bay Marina to be a friendly, beautiful, quiet and scenic location. 

'The Shipyard', pub, located at the head of the dock, offers a friendly atmosphere and specializes in excellent food,  locally 'crafted' beers and "Merridale" cider, all on draught.  Local wines are also featured. The Merridale Cindery is located a short distance from the Marina in the Cowichan Valley and offers daily tours.

For moorage contact the Maple Bay Marina at 250-746-8482, CH 66A Marine VHF, or visit their website at:
