January 30

Nice day for a great paddle team! we managed to have a pretty good hour workout- with some boat-to-boat competition, that was kind of fun!

And Karen "im-a-huki-winner" Jewel took the till and did an excellent job at it! Look forward to us giving more tiller experience at the end of each practice. Its good for everyone to have experience on how to react when a boat gets taken away from the tiller, and it happens to the best of experienced steerers, ask Jerry, Susie, Suzanne, anyone! Plus it builds on our experience and depth of talent in the club.

WOW! Can you believe how many new folks showed up?!?!?Even with cloudy skies and cooler temps- BIG THANKS to Judith and Meet-Up.com for encouraging the attendance- and to Andi and the rest of you for bringing food and friends to the beach on Sunday.
Lets hope we can keep them on board with us as we strive to build the teams and membership.

We logged in a little over 3 and 1/2 miles in our hour together- Stay tuned as we use the blog to give you information on what to expect in future practices and how we plan to prepare for Tempe, Long beach, and San Francisco!
And for those of you who have an interest in trying out for the USA Teams heading to Tampa in August, we will also keep that information posted here.
Its all good, and its all going to get BETTER!
