Training Season

The weekend before last saw us off to the mountains to teach in the CCC's annual novice/intermediate whitewater kayaking clinics. This was Nancy's first chance to teach whitewater since her instructor certification.



Last weekend, we enjoyed a day-trip to the James-Balcony Falls section with several students from the N/I clinics.

This week and weekend, I'm heading to Wintergreen, VA to obtain my ACA endorsement for Adaptive Paddling instruction via the Wintergreen Adaptive Paddling Program.

Voyeur Prognosticators

I just opened a fortune cookie that can evidently look in on my life. Though not really telling me what my future is, it told me "You look pretty". I just wanted to document that in case I ever needed some type of proof.

Married to a Pro

Congratulations to my beautiful spouse for completing her Level IV Whitewater Kayak Instructor Certification with the American Canoe Association. I SO look forward to teaching with her.

I knew all along she could do it.

Safety Boating

After having a 3-hour course canceled yesterday I took up an offer to safety-boat for two, hour-and-a-half rental kayak trips down the Neuse for Paddle Creek. It was a beautiful day and not a lot of work except for loading and unloading boats for the shuttle for over 30 people. I ran into Kurt and Cindy on the river and had a chat with them along the way.

Talking with Nancy last night, she had a great day on the Ocoee with her instructor class. I'm so glad that came off well for her.
