A group of us have been meeting at St. Philips one evening a week to practice paddle skills or just an evening leisurely paddle. Last evening marks the kickoff of the 10th year. There were years in the past when I was by myself on the first evening but there were six of us this time.
The water temperature is near 0C. I got things rolling by jumping out of my kayak to do an assisted rescue. It went off without a hitch.

The last number of day have been windy so we still had some residual wave action around the rocks. Cathy, Peter and I had a blast doing a bit of rock hopping.
Craig and Dave made it an evening for a relaxed paddle.
Paul did the assisted rescue with me and then also made the rest of the evening a relaxed paddle.
I was apprehensive about how well subscribed these evenings would be after last year when attendance hit lows. So far, so good but I think the water will have to warm up a bit before more people get wet.
