Friday 22 February
My first training session began with a Star 1, Star 2 course. I learnt about the kayak, different terminology and most importantly distress signals!
It was great learning all forms of paddle techniques for maneuvering and so forth. Most importantly, and really quite amusing actually, is practicing the capsizing. Any excuse to swim in this magnificent sea I think!
Patrick is an excellent teacher and with years of experience I found him incredibly patient.
Lastly, I was challenged to "Stand-up paddle" and what fun that was, perhaps this should be incorporated into the "around the island challenge".
