This week I was so lucky to join James Stevenson and Shaun Rodgers in the ISKGA intensive 6 weeks course organized by Sea kayaking Cornwall. Was a really full week... whit sunny days between some very awful windy, rainy and chilly days... and long long long hours on the water... observing, practising and learning sooooooo much! What a week!

 |
| Playing in "wind over tide" toward the Swellies... |
 |
| Day 2 - Sunny, warm and long day around the Stacks... |
 |
| The Irish South African Greek paddler Shaun... |

| Playing in the tidal race at North Stack... |
 |
| The long day went on with a "party" on the beach... |
 |
| Day 2 - Night navigation paddling from Port Dafarch to Treardurr Bay... |
 |
| Day 3 - Morning spent planning trips & crossings and waiting for better weather conditions... |
 |

Questa settimana sono stata così fortunata da osservare
James Stevenson e
Shaun Rodgers nel corso intensivo di 6 settimane per
