Instruction at Beaver Lake

A morning spent with ~G on Beaver Lake, fine tuning his braces and strokes. Working towards a solid capsize recovery. I'm sure ~G was happy that he pulled off two perfect self-rescues in the deep water. Congratulations!

Lesson at Esquimalt Lagoon

Paddled out from the Fort Rodd Hill end of Esquimalt Lagoon and across the Harbour with ~G. Was an excellent lesson. Spent a lot of our time reinforcing the skills learned in our last session, plus introduced a few new variations on the theme. Practiced self-rescues. Breeze from the North-East, small wind waves.

Instructional session at Cattle Point

Took ~G for a two hour, one-on-one session today at Cattle Point. A fun session, and judging by the smile on his face when he 'rolled' up from a capsize, a very productive one.

I live for days like this!
