Canoe training for 2 star

On Saturday we headed to Loch Tay to carry out the canoe training and assessment of 2star.  After a shaky navigational start, we were soon on the water hiding from the wind on the beautiful Loch Tay.
We started with learning to steer the boat both from the front and back then did some supper awesome forward paddling using pier learning which everyone responded well too.

After a quick break and tea, we sped through the rest of the stokes on the syllabus and moved onto the wet rescues.
Everyone grasped them very quickly, demonstrating top “Curl” technique and even some “all in rescue” shenanigans!
Top day on the water with everyone looking really confident in the canoes by the end of it.
