This evening I was delighted to share some kayak time with Lael and Bernie Burton out on one of the Tanglewood lakes. Water was low but enjoyable! I was honored to give them a few pointers. We did forward stroke. sweeps to turn. Threw in a backstroke, and practiced a hard stop. I had a great time. Should have taken a third kayak with me. So they took turns in the 14' Tsunami. --needed the room for long legs.
This makes me want to start offering lessons. Guess I need to work up a waiver! Cant get my certification til early spring. This was certainly good practice for ME!
Thanks Lael and Bernie!

You're welcome, Ruth! It was OUR unexpected pleasure. We thought you were coming to check the depth of the water, but lo and behold, there were 2 kayaks following along behind you.
We really had a good time, and you were an excellent instructor. We've paddled before, but really didn't know what we were doing beyond putting an oar in and pushing. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge, and we're hoping that you do go ahead and offer classes. We look forward to it!
Lael
