Well, today we didn't really go on the river. We spent the day in the pool practicing our kayak skills. And as I have already taken the class and learned how to kayak it was a chance for me to review. I haven't had the opportunity to go kayaking since the class so I was itching for the chance to practice. The first time I got in the boat and tried an eskimo roll I didn't make it. I had to wet exit that time but it was good to do that to. But the next time I tried I made it up and then went too far and had to try it again but this time without my paddle. Even though I don't remember making it up much a couple years ago when I tried without my paddle I made it up this time. I was pretty happy about it.
I tried to help out others so they could get the hang of the roll but for the most part I think they needed more time. Its a weird skill and I think it just takes time to get used to it.
