Due to the late return from Cornwall I didn't get to post this last night.
Yesterday was day two of my 4* Leader Sea Kayak training with Richard Uren from Paddlecrest Coaching. The aim of the day was to cover the rest of the syllabus that we didn't cover on saturday. This mainly consisted of covering a descent distance to check our fitness, observing leadership styles and strategies, moving in and around confined spaces and rescue techniques.
We joined the Penzance Canoe Club monthly paddle heading out of Porthleven which meant there were 11 of us in the group, this gave plenty of opportunity to look at group management. It was also nice to move between the group and chat to other paddlers about their experiences. The trip took us west along some stunning coastline to our lunch spot at Prussia Cove, some 7.5 miles. After lunch we made the return journey to Porthleven where we performed all of the rescues before surfing a few waves in the harbour mouth.
A really good day with some nice people resulting in a productive action plan to complete before assessment.
