May 11th - Cadboro Bay (#36)

Dan, James and I went for an afternoon paddle out in the bay to do some rolling practice. The water is warming up as was evidenced by the algal bloom that was starting. We had to paddle to the next bay after loon bay to find clear water. James helped me work on my forward finishing butterfly/brace recovery and it was neat how a couple of good pointers made it happen consistently! I now have a reliable forward finishing recovery from a face down static brace. We also worked on my elbow roll and that too showed progress... Time to get back into the rolling habit!
