Ākala Susie naming ceremony.
Our V6 outrigger canoe is named.
The V6 outrigger is named ‘Ākala Susie’ in fond remembrance of one of our team’s founders, Sue Cogley.
Ākala Susie also got her first outing of 2022 over two paddling sessions.
Paddlers for Life members, experienced and newer, gathered for the ceremony.
It was a damp and misty day on Windermere but paddlers did not let this diminish their enthusiasm.
Some additional photos from June.

Great to have patrons Louisa on the drum of Artemis Phyllis and also Eve paddling with us all too.
