Des and MalcolmDes and Malcolm are paddlers apart. They seek out wind and waves, exposed coasts, long open crossings. They are part of a triumvirate, the other being Linda who wasn't with them this evening. They go big.
Usually they paddle out of either Bauline further up the coast or Quidi Vidi. These put-ins are on opposite sides of the Avalon peninsula. When its calm on one side they're likely to find the conditions they crave on the other. This evening they joined a bunch of regulars that have been practicing paddle strokes and rescues in St. Philips on Thursday evenings.
It wasn't a rough as they're used to but I think they still had a good evening out. Our group isn't as advanced as they are but we're working on it. Ya got to start somewhere!
Clyde, where's your boat? Des looks like he's telling Clyde "Clyde, you can't play with us without a boat".
Zwoosh! I caught Stan rolling up, I've seen him roll lots of times but never realized that the water caused this interesting effect.
