Blazing hot spring

It's been a busy couple of weeks (not even counting yesterday's excitement of bringing home a new vehicle). Three weekends ago was the Adaptive Paddling clinic in Wintergreen, VA to add that endorsement to my Instructor's certification. Two weekends ago I taught a 3-hour course on Falls Lake that was so hot I postponed a class scheduled for the following Sunday. Took a quick day-trip mid-week to Hammock's Beach to check out a kayaking venue there.

Last weekend saw Nancy and me teaching our first (together) whitewater kayaking course on the Cape Fear, followed the next day by a 6-hour course on Lake Jordan (in more temperate weather). Starting to get a lot of calls for roll clinics so I added some info on that on the website today and almost immediately booked a roll session.

We'll probably head to VA this weekend to help out with an adaptive paddling river run and it'll be a good chance to test out the new Subie's chops with a couple of boats on top.

Hope it doesn't get too much hotter and certainly NO drier as summer's first day rolls around tomorrow. We'll have Week-of-Rivers starting at the end of next week and then the paddling REALLY begins.
