| Thursday afternoons are skills lessons days at Optimist during the summer months. Making the most of the long warm summer days we meet at the club at 5pm for a learning session. Afterwards we sit around and celebrate the coming weekend with a drink and some snacks. Our TGIF is actually TGIT as our weekend is Friday and Saturday, Sunday is back to work, the first day of the week |
 |
| The water is now about 26 C, thats pretty warm and friendly. |
 |
| This time we practiced our rudder turns, stern and bow |
 |
| Rescues both self and assisted were also on the menu |
 |
| The more you learn the better your experience and the more confidence you get |
 |
| As well as having a lot of fun in the water |
 |
| Some make it look so easy |
 |
| Others need a lot more practice |
 |
| Luckily for us these guys were having a meeting on the beach and invited us for a taste |
 |
| David is a first rate surgeon and feels at home with sharp tools |
 |
| Friday morning was shrouded in mist at first |
 |
| Avital is getting ready to go to Greenland soon |
 |
| And Izzy was trying his hand at rock hopping and seal landing |
 |
| Earning him his Rough Ryders tee shirt. So thats the plan for the summer, try to arrange your life so that work does not interfere with your kayaking and come and join us . |
