]]> What a great weekend spent teaching cadets paddle sport. We travelled to the docks at Port Talbot. This is a venue that Sea Cadets have been using since the 1960’s and although there is less shipping traffic, not much else has changed. We enjoyed unseasonably good weather and some passionate and engaged cadets. Activities included, rowing, sailing, powerboat and myself leading kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. A huge thank you to all the other volunteers, without whom, weekends like this would not happen.

]]> I have been working toward my British Canoeing Coach Award for some time. I should have completed it in early 2020, but the pandemic put a stop to that. Last week, after several delays, I finally achieved success. The Coach Award (formerly known as UKCC Level 2) allows me to move on from just facilitating taster sessions, and to begin the coached development of paddlers, in both canoe and kayak. The pandemic has caused frustration amongst many of us of course, but just being able to get back on the water will be amazing.

Hopefully I can add stand-up paddle boarding to my remit very soon, but for now, bring on the sunshine!
