BCU 2 Star Training

Paddle #3 for the year was a BCU 2 Star training course, taught by Teresa Boli. We meet down at the Aqua-Adventures docks to learn how to paddle a canoe. As part of the revised BCU system, the earlier stars now include a wider introduction to various paddle craft. We teamed up into pairs and began playing. Teresa had us practicing keeping the canoe going straight. The biggest difference I found between a kayak and a canoe is almost every stroke in a canoe has a corrective component to it. After several fun hours playing in Quivira Basin.
