Paddled with the Sunday group out from Becher Bay to the point. Weather was warm and the paddle pleasant. Ten paddler's in total. Really nice way to spend a day. Hopefully I'll get out on more of these as I'd like to continue developing and refining my guiding style with groups before I decide if it's what I want to do for a partial living. I tend to be very watchful, a result of my emergency response background. Safety first, especially with an unknown group with unknown skill levels. I'll loosen up a bit now that I know the paddler's needs and styles better.
Time on water - 4 hours.
Went to the pool for a training session in the K1, balance keeps getting better, only thrown off twice all night and diabolically sucker-dumped by an evil, evil man... all in good fun of course... *wink*
All this sculling is giving me bulges where I don't seem to remember there being bulges before.
Time on water - 2 hours
Couple of videos of Harvey Golden, kayak historian showing off one of his favourite kayaks. Not too keen on the idea of denim for paddling... but hey, who am I to dress others. Cotton is truly nasty when wet though.
Time on water (two outings) - 6 hours
Time volunteer guiding - 4 hours
Time volunteer instructing - 1 hour
