Sean getting back in his boatThursday evenings we meet at St. Philips to practice paddling strokes and rescues - rain or shine. Today if it was going to happen it was going to be in the rain.
Sean posted a query on the newsgroup early in the day whether we were on given the expected wind and rain. Dean replied "of course, we practice whatever the conditions".
The wind had dropped by the time we got there but it was still raining. There was still a bit of swell from the southwest so we made the best of it. We got wet and practiced rescues.
Then the wind picked up from the north and quickly northerly wind waves developed to interact with the swell that continued from the southwest to create confused seas. Perfect!
In spite of the weather 6 of us had a very enjoyable evening. Thanks Brian, Clyde, Dean, Neville and Sean.
