Today was the second of a two part certification course, and we spent most of the time on the water, in Alder Creek! We learned (or reviewed) different paddling techniques, and then the teacher lead us on a lovely paddle around the bay. It was sunset, warm, but not hot, and just simply incredible. Vancouver has the incredible luck of being a city surrounded by nature, and all I have to do is bike down to False Creek, put my name down on the list, put a kayak into the water, and all of a sudden, I no longer feel the omni-presence of the city putting that undeniable pressure on me!
Looking forward to many more paddles in the coming months! They tell me that the club is open year-round. I wonder how long I'll be making it... until November? Maybe?
