Urban Currents Wed Night Skill Building/Trash Pick-Up Paddle was a lot of fun. I was not expecting a good turn out do to the holiday weekend approaching but was shocked and a little nervous that 24 people showed up. WOW!
The island was not that trashed, but I was able to find some compact areas that do need some attention. Next Wed I am working on a way to pick up around the jumping rocks.
The paddling was great. I will not mention names, but Laurie Freeman got her 1st Roll in strong current and Tom Bishop's eyes about popped out of his head when he got is 1st bow squirt on an eddy line.
The big number of swims was awesome! If your a just learning how to paddle, swimming in a controlled environment is a great thing. It means you are pushing yourself out of your comfort zone in a controlled manner.
I hope to see some open boaters next wed. July 6th.
Thanks again to everyone who came out and picked up some trash and paddled. It was great to see people that I have known for awhile meet other paddlers that are on the same rivers all the time. It just leads to more paddling!!!
Until next Wed have a safe, fun, wet, happy July 4th Weekend!!!
