First 2017 Paddle

First 2017 Paddle

What a glorious and busy day for the first paddle of our tenth anniversary season.
The weather was bright and sunny with Windermere looking calm and blue for the morning session.

The newer paddlers got involved in dressing and launching Artemis Phyllis and Mary at Low Wood and following a pre-paddle reminder about the paddling stroke, helm instructions and boat safety from John the two dragon boats had a busy morning session. The dragons were awoken by Barbara , there was a ‘flowers on the water’ ceremony and these and the regular paddling activities were being filmed.

What a fantastic start to the paddling season, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Thanks to Chris and John for helming and all paddlers for their enthusiastic involvement. Thank you also to Simon and Liam on the support boat.
