paddling

Tonight I actually got out on the water and paddled a Kirton Trainer



Bit tippier than the Talisman but a far better boat than the Tor but, in my opinion,
none of them touch my Epsilon.



Because of the rain there was a good flow. The guy I was paddling with, Glen, did a few river bed inspections- I remembered why I don't like overstern rudders when you need to whip your kayak round to perform a rescue, or two, or three...
He did try hard and kept on going, the new paddles and a strong current did make it a bit of a challenge. He should try what I do and just pretend I can paddle a tippy boat. Well done Glen, good effort!
