Saturday was a flat water kayak class on a lake wherein the instructor was great & there were no roped in areas!! A sea kayak is much more to my liking. On Sunday Steve & Sherry took me out on a paddle that was a fabulous learning experience, I truly appreciate their time & energy to take on a person as naive as myself. It was beauty beyond words ! I am ordering my kayak this week! A friend lent me some videos on paddle techniques. The film recommends a little tension on the paddle when you practice so grabbed the cats (just because they can't ride in the hatch like a dog...they can be a part of kayaking too!) & put their tails to good use. Just kidding all you cat lovers out there..... Finally got "out of the ropes" & can't wait for more adventures! Yes there were a few of those "kodak moments" but I didn't take any spills.... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
