G'Day Doug' and Paddlewise, Well I learn't heaps of elementary stuff that I needed to know, including how to set up for a roll while the surf was still breaking to take advantage of the wave. I've got some questions on high braces but will address those in a separate post. Finally on the last day a storm blew up and there were only three of us left so we adjourned to the Bega river and I practiced wind sprints for the Hawkesbury Classic (110km overnight race - end of October). Anyway came back to find companions comatose on the grass and a bunch of heifers licking the salt off their boats. And looking as if they fancied a good chew on the coamings. Now we didn't want to scare these cows as they were being conditioned (sorry - heifers I'm a city boy) so what to do? - quick as a flash a paddle was set up against a fence and draped with skirt and PFD - fastest scarecow in the west and very effective:~) All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
