One of the purposes of this blog for me is to try to keep an exact record of all the paddling I do. Consequently, this entry is purely to record that I went to the Belfast Kayak Club Outdoor Pool session at Millisle Lagoon on a bright but blustery Saturday morning. There are no photos but I had a good session practicing basic skills in my Jefe Grande.
One point of interest was that as this was the first session I’ve been to with BKC I hadn’t realised the wide variety of members of the club. There were a few families and a high proportion of female paddlers. It is an acknowledgement of my ignorance but the mental cliché I had of all kayakers being young thrusting athletic chaps and crusty old sea dogs, almost exclusively male, was just plain wrong! I like it when I’m wrong and the World displays a better state of affairs than that I’d expected 🙂
