Saturday Practice Mission Bay

Mike Brown, Dennis Hyndman, Ken Frye, myself, and others will be practicing a variety of rescue and towing skills outside the Mission Bay Breakwater, this Saturday morning, the 16th. We will meet at 8:30 in Aqua Adventure's parking lot and launch at 9:00. Jen has OK'd us to launch from the dock. You are welcome to join us if you are comfortable practicing in a range of open water conditions.

The plan is to paddle about 1.4nm to a spot outside the north jetty to practice in conditions created by the jetty, swell, and wind. Participants are free to select what they want to work on. A menu of skills to practice includes T rescues (between the boats as well as over the side), anchor tows while doing a T rescue, scoop rescues, rolls and re-entry rolls, scramble/cowboy recoveries, half paddle rolls, Hand of God, and towing practice. Dressing for full immersion is a must and helmets are recommended in addition to the normal safety gear (PFD, spray skirt, pump, paddle float, tow belt...)
