Another day, another session or 2

C1's were up early today to get ready for a 9am session. It was refreshingly cool when we headed to the river. Unfortunately when we arrived Shaun went looking for his boat and after 2 laps of the boat storage area he concluded it must have been stolen. We reported it to the race directors and could have told the police who were there doing a report because the Polish had been rear ended in a hit and run! Anyway, in the meantime Dale and Ben went with Shaun to look again and just as they entered the compound they asked Shaun if the one boat leaning on the fence all on it's own, right in front of them.....was his....yep!! So, off to the water and the guys did a whole bunch of short runs. Ben and Shaun both had a pretty good session and then we headed home to wake up the juniors who were having a well earned lie in.


Then the juniors had a session in the high heat of the day at 4pm. It was back in the mid 90's by then and in the session before I saw one of the pommie guys just sit out on the grass because he was too hot to paddle. Pretty funny when one of them was having a winge about coming from 12 degrees to this. I told him how the south islanders hearts would bleed for him ;-)

Safety first!!!!

Cole had a flying session, not least because we'd spent half the day polishing up his kayak. Jess came to terms well with the course and was getting the hang of all the holes. Geoff also had an awesome session, nailing the top course really well. Finn obviously got jealous of Cole and came home and polished his boat!!


At the end of our session we overlapped on to the open session. Well, this really is a spectacle. Boats blooming everywhere geezer!!  Our guys waited for their opening and then gunned down on a team run. A couple of times the team became 4 people until the other person realized what they'd gotten in the way of and then they moved aside real fast.

When we returned home we found one of our neighbours kids at 6 years old selling koolade in the street so I treated the team at 25c a cup! The kid is the new Warren Buffet for sure.
