Marine Law Enforcement Conference


Steve Jones and I really enjoyed teaching the at Washington State marine Law Enforcement Offers annual conference yesterday. The segment we taught went from 11:00 - 3:00 and was held at Boulder Beach on the Spokane River. It's a beautiful stretch that is very slow moving water backed up behind a dam. We go there a little early so Steve hopped in a K-1 and a C-1 for me for about a half hour. The water was flat and calm and reminded be of the Little Danube on the east side of Csepel Island south of Budapest. It would be a great place for a canoe/kayak racing team.

The instruction focused on rescues, with the officers rescuing various types of paddle craft - canoes, kayaks, SUPs - into their rescue launch. We also demonstrated how we rescue ourselves and each other - assisted and self rescues.

It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm.
