The last weekend of September found an enthusiastic group of paddlers out for a weekend of fun and learning, under the guidance of Gordon Grant, at the 20th Scholarship Foundation fundraiser.

After prying a few individuals out of their sleeping bags on Saturday morning (geez, girls, it was 38 degrees... not even freezing!!!), we spent a couple of hours fine tuning strokes and rolling technique on the lake, then went to a section of the French Broad near Asheville for more practise. It warmed up quickly... wonderful fall weather! The second day we went to another section of the FB (Section 9), where there were plenty of challenges for everyone. Quite a few great combat rolls, no swims, more fun than should be legally allowed!

Next clinic: first weekend in May, '07: May 4 - 6. Keep it centered, and see you then!
