4 Star Assessment, day 2...

I did it (phew). 

It was a hard day on the water today. The conditions were outside of remit most of the time & would of suited a 5 star assessment.

Thanks to Chris, Richard & Dirk for being crazy enough to volunteer as our guinea pigs & Peter, Clive & Gavin who were also being assessed.

And a big thanks to Jeff & Simon from Sea Kayak Cornwall.

Too knackered to type anymore (LOL)...

4 Star Assessment, Day 1...

Just finished day one of my 4 star assessment with Sea Kayak Cornwall.

Simon took us for the first day of the assessment & we paddled out of Mullion on the Lizard in good 4 star conditions,

Doing the assessment was Pete, Clive & Gavin & myself.

We started off by heading into some choppy water with a decent swell off Mullion Island to practice rolls, self rescues & x- rescues.

I managed to capsize whilst performing an x-rescue (whoops) but quickly rolled up & got Pete's boat empty & him back in it. The clamber on decks didn't go to well either in the rough water, something to work on.

We then moved onto Polurrion Cove for some surfing practice & Lunch & them back towards Mullion for some scenario based rescues & contact tows.

A good dat but I'm totally knackered!

Looking forward to tomorrow :)
