Do you drive a small red car? Are you in Orkney? Are you paddlers? Mysteriously, while battling with the continuing saga of My Broken Skeg and Other Kayak Tales, I spotted a small car with two sea kayaks on the roof down the street. Now, normally this wouldn’t be odd at all, a whole manner of vehicles with kayaks on/in/behind them regularly appear in my street but I didn’t know who these people were. I ask you! A paddler, in Orkney, who I don’t know? Whatever next?!
Anyway, whoever the mystery people were, it is certainly a lovely day for a paddle and I wish I’d got my wits about me earlier and arranged an early evening trip after work.
Sunday night saw another pool session, this time without sea boats. I was there to coach but as many of the attendees didn’t make it, I took the chance to jump in a boat myself.
Well, in a small pool boat my roll is fine, dare I say bombproof, and I happily rolled away on both sides in the little white boat. I tried to slow things down and tried to make a point of bringing the head up last. Then I tried a few hand rolls, inelegantly but effectively.
Maybe I’ll fair better on Friday with my sea boat in the pool again?
OOOOOOOOOOOOHH, You never know the 'Dark Side'could be gathering strength!!! :D
