Same location and format as the open boat morning session.
Forward paddling, reverse paddling, draw strokes, bow rudder, stern rudder...
Bow rudder game was to play chicken with the quoins
Stern rudder was shoot through a narrow gap.
Also played tig with wet sponges.
Everybody was cold and tired so learning became a chore. The sea and wind affected our ability to get into a good position to teach, and stay in one place to even hear the instructions. Teaching became repetitive and dull.
Brian changed tempo dramatically and this had an interesting effect.
He enthusiastically/loudly got us to circle and change stroke on command. Loud voice, him in the centre of the circle so he could see and be seen/heard.
Finished session with Paul taking us out to deeper water, bigger waves. From a distance it looked challenging, but turned out to be easy enough.
Again if i'd committed more fully i would have enjoyed it more.
