Royal Blue
The first thing most people think of when they see the police is someone has done something wrong. Not on this day and certainly not Sue!
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) provided their rescue boat for our paddling safety day on Saturday past. We had a group of paddlers keeping an eye on everyone just in case they got into trouble on the water; having the RNC rescue boat on hand gave us another level of safety. With over 100 peple trying a kayak for the first time, it was good to know we had this back-up.
I didn't know the RNC had such a boat and I don't know what it will be used for in the future but I hope I never need their services. And I guess that's the main reason for safety day and practicing kayak safety. You don't want to have to figure it out when you have to actually rescue yourself or someone else. Practice beforehand so you know what to do when you need the skills.
