Summer 2009 President's Message

Tuesday, 21 July 2009 02:26

Hey fellow paddlers,

As I write this note, we in the Pacific Northwest are enjoying our 28th consecutive rain-less day. I do hope you all are getting out on our area’s beautiful lakes, rivers and saltwater destinations to soak up some paddling fun in the sun. Our WKC Bulletin is always in need of a story, experience, or trip report from our paddling membership. I especially encourage those of you who are new to our sport to submit your story.

Recently the sea kayaking side our Club held their WKC Basic Class at the Environmental Learning Center on Coronet Bay. We had 23 students successfully complete the class and many experienced a trip thru Deception Pass! A big THANK YOU goes out to Dave Carlson and Dale Tangeman who organized the class. An even bigger THANK YOU goes to Mare Carlson and Karen Tangeman, who manage to plan for and feed a small army for the three-day event. Finally, a thank you to the instructors for their time, effort and expertise shared with the students.

Final thought, this is the time of year that we read and hear about accidents and incidents on the water. We need to ‘suggest’ to those new kayakers who are not being cautious or just plain doing ‘dumb things,’ that they need to be cautious on the very cold waters we paddle.

Happy Paddling,

Bill Porter, WKC Prez
