I am supposed to attend a sea kayak clinic this weekend on the Oregon coast and the weather is just horrible. They have 25 foot surf and 75 mph winds predicted at the headlands. We start on Saturday and the weather is supposed to be a bit better only an 80% chance of rain and reduced wind. We will be practicing rescues, rolling etc at one of our coastal lakes so it will be pretty safe. I am trying to talk myself into doing this clinic because it is exactly the conditions I will need to do a rescue, but.... I am still trying to psych myself up. We may do some surf practice in a bay which is protected by a reef, but there will still be plenty of action. We will also be camping out of our kayak. Sigh... I have a really solid Moss tent, and my drysuit but still I am wavering. -- MZ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
