Record busy day on the water...

Perfect conditions on Sunday made for this sunny and flat calm October day, our busiest on record! Beginners paddle in the morning, including the final session of the Sept Introduction to Sea Kayaking course, headed North out of Port Erin, around Bradda Head, past the old Copper Mines leaching brilliant colours on the cliffs. Around the Sea Stacks and boulders, keeping distance from the newly born Seal Pups in the caves on certain beaches. Time to practice a few skills before returning to the beach. A rapid ice cream break was followed by the Adventure Club Intermediates skills session, which took place at the Calf Sound, with numerous re-entry and rolls, self-rescues and much swimming! Ginger cake and sandwiches prepped the team for the late afternoon Intra-mediates paddle, which split into smaller groups, and paddled North out past the Mines again.
We'll continue to run these sessions every Sunday, in this order, as they have proven to be very popular.

Such a great day and despite occasional wobbles, only one accidental wetting... well done everyone!!

Nearly forgot a pic from Thursday's 'Leadership in Advanced Conditions' weekly evening session, ensuring our instructors are adequately prepared for all eventualties!
