Meet as planned. The rain should hold off for most of the session, it will be about 8 C with a fairly strong South Westerly, so dress for the cold. We should be able to find a bit of shelter.
An Opportunity to meet up on the water and explore sea kayak assisted and self rescues. We could also look at some towing options if people are interested
1. Event co-ordinator Sten Sture
2. Trip Leader leader Sten Sture
3. Trip type:Sea kayak rescue training (well lake really)
The loose plan is to go for a short paddle to warm up and loosen off, spend as long as we need doing dry stuff (towing etc). have a break then do some wet stuff. Bring a flask and a sandwich along with calm weather and sunshine.
Bring the kit you would normally take on with you (if you normally have kit on your deck i.e. split paddles, deck bag etc then put it on there for this) also any gear you want to practice / experiment with. Tow lines, contact tow systems, paddle floats etc, bring a pump if you have one.
Getting wet is not mandatory, you can still come and learn through observation.
Please dress warm.
A dry suit is recommended. If you don't have a dry suit bring your normal paddling gear and if you want to have a practice do so just before we get off the water.
