Beginning Whitewater

Taking the ferry to the whitewater class
on a dramatic evening.

 

 

Bucky and James helped with the whitewater class!
(the weather did improve!)
James walks sleepily by while Bucky makes sure the boats are in a straight line.

First day of whitewater - this group really took to the team building game "diminishing circles"!

 

 

Quick photo break while we scout the rapid
below Snoqualamie Falls

 

We loaded up the van for a short shuttle to scout the river.

 

 

David White's umbrella came in really handy while
we video taped strokes

James shows us how to ferry.

 

 

Garth floats a big boat! "Let's see if this goes where I think it will!"

 

 

Andree demonstrates mooning the current -
on a lesser scale.

Instructor Development

Sybille can't believe her kayak got taken away during this
table top scenario at the coastal kayaking instructor workshop.
She got too close to an orca swimming
in this shipping lane.

 

"Coastal Brian" uses a paddle float to roll his
hand made baidarka.

Dave Krause shows us more knots during this three day course through Rescue 3 International

 

We practiced swimming and catching eddies with just our bodies and then with boogie boards and fins. Don't try this on your own!
