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.
