Two Star Training (aka Beyond FUNdamentals) - March 28, 2010

What a great class. And, an adventure. We combined training with touring around Snug Harbor, regularly changing the sites in out "classroom".

The adventure was in maximizing results in the time available since rain and lightning was forecasted early in the afternoon.

Four intrepid souls began. And, three of them stayed awake throughout!
About 1:00 thunder in the distance suggested the weather forecast was coming true, so we retreated from the water.

I was thrilled, because in 3 hours of learning I saw an enormous increase in skill among the class. While disappointed to get off the water, it was balanced by seeing the results that were already achieved.

The gang found a perfect spot for some "dryland" training, under the new roof on the deck at the shop. And, we began with questions and answers.

After the questions slowed down, Harry took a stab at Kayak-Mation. He used a kayak ornament to simulate a banana simulating a kayak. We learned a bit and laughted a lot.

The rain and thunder had diminished and we decided to conclude our learning adventure.

Tom was rising to new heights with his kayak.

While Peter was getting down to his next kayaking achievement.

And, Sarah and Harry were relieved that Kayak-Mation survived.
