I think we should make it a skills class, and go out to practice assisted rescues and rolling. I had a hunch some of the participants werent expecting quite such a ride.

On the other hand, I cant think of a better intro to rough water than to have several experienced paddlers along. I'll beef up the assisted rescue skills, and be up for helping out. Not as Ive any instructor experience, but...

Perhaps we oughta set up skills practice sessions in the afternoons. The water's a little cold...

: Oh wait, that's what we did!

: I hope you guys had as much fun taking it as I did teaching it!!

: Maybe we could ask WADOT to move Deception Pass over to the other side of the
: Sound so we can take a quick afternoon trip there. ;)

: I like the group camping idea, as well as a BBQ or night paddle.
