I did not put on any kms today but had a great morning and afternoon with two more clinics with Dubside. I definitely improved my rolling, learning a few new ones and refining some “old” ones. The morning was at the ORS dock and the afternoon was at Elk Lake
Yours truly doing a static brace. By the end of the day I was doing this without a norsaq or paddle!

Mike, Dan, Yasu, Ellen and I participated in a Greenland Paddling clinic led by Dubside. We learned about the history of modern greenland kayaking and then developed our strokes on the water. In the afternoon we went to Beaver lake to do a beginner rolling clinic. Fun was had by all!
While Monica was Rowing I went for a recce paddle from Eagle Beach to Beaver Lake to look at the best locations for the clinics this weekend. Water was warm and I did quite a few rolls and braces. I think beaver Lake is the best option. I was also there briefly for the SISKA “romp” but had to leave early so as to go to a play at school (which was great!).
5 km, 3NM, YTD 422km
I led two clinics for SISKA today – the first was an introduction to Greenland paddling and the second one was a towing clinic. Gordin helped me with the towing clinic and we managed to clock up about 5 Km between the two clinics.
5.5 km, 3 NM, YTD 417 km
Craig and I led a group of 9 grade 11 outdoor leaders on a 4 day 3 night trip from Cedar by the sea to Sidney over the long weekend. We had great conditions with mostly calm seas and weak currents and only a small set of showers on the last evening. The pace was pretty steady thoughout the trip as you can see from the track - except when we went into Porlier pass where we had a nice flood to help us
More details to come…
