At our national forum I run a session I call Silly Strokes. You know, all
those daft things that get people stretching, twisting and using their
blades to do more than just go forward. It is a very popular session and we
all have a lot of fun.

It is based, very closely, on a section from Alan Byde's original, "Living
Canoeing" and an article in Sea Kayaker by Nigel Foster.

Well, this year I was busted!

Both Alan and Nigel were at the forum and I felt like a plagiarist. Both
were gracious in their praise that their ideas were being carried on.

Phew.

Cheers
