Bonfire Night paddle


Fantastic day paddling, perfect finish with a 'bonfire night sky'

Paddling from Port St Mary.
The last skills sessions before the 2* and 3* tests next Sunday. Morning and afternoon sessions (8 wk course - groups A and B) ran through the core skills, concentrating on recovery strokes and braces. The Intermediate session worked upon high brace and recovery, rescues and forward paddling. Finishing with a paddle round to Perwick Bay to watch the sun go down, returning to the slip as the sky became a spectacular display of crimson streaks on the soft blue background, gradually fading as we racked the kayaks on the trailer. Doubt the fireworks later will supass that display.
