8/24 Cold water self rescue clinic...

Very good to know and practice. I flipped over @ TC about month and half ago.
Once you practice and know how to do a self rescue its pretty easy to perform.  I was very comfortable knowing that it wasn't a big deal to up right the yak and to get back onto it and go about catching some more fish.. It's just something everyone should know how to do. Because it's going to happen...
Thanks to all involved for getting this clinic together.

Good idea.  I'd like to drop by if I can get down there that weekend.

Guys! Sean Morley is arguably the best paddler on the planet, and one of the best coaches I've ever worked with. People fly from all over the world to go to his symposium in SF. 3hrs 6hrs who cares. It's a free class! If you are on the fence just commit and go. You will be amazed at what you learn. Sean changed kayaking for me. He taught me so much of what I know. I hope as a club we can take advantage of this.

I'll be there for sure. Can't wait to meet Sean and hang out.

Anyone who attends this seminar and gets wet can have ten dollars off registration at Albion next year.

Now super bummed.

It will be 3 hour one way trip for me but I'm interested. What time is this happening?

oops. Kinda important huh? sorry about that...
I'll get a hold of Sean today and post back asap.

I`m interested in both cold and warm....as far as cold ..I don't have a dry suit yet, but I do have a PFD,7mm full body wet suit..wadda you think ? ,Vk

Hey VK,l let me know when you're free and we can meet at either spring lake or lake Sonoma.
Lets definitley practice in warm water first.
I'm free this sunday & monday

Works for me,I`m free both days and either place is good for me...

Still up for either Sunday /Monday ?

Yes, sorry for the late response. Sunday works best for me. PM sent

After talking with Sean, he ok with anytime.
I'm thinking 11ish? What do you guys think?
That way those who get there early can go do some fishing first then get wet.
Plus those who a coming from a long distance won't have to be in a huge hurry.
Good?

That's awesome.  You must have connections.  Or know him personally.

I believe that Sean will be at Albion on the weekend of the 7th for the Headwaters Adventure function where there will be clinics.  Check out their website.

I want to try it in warm water first too.  Swimming isn't allowed in Spring Lake.  Lake Sonoma would be good but not at Yorty Creek because there's knee-deep mud due to low water; it should be okay at the dam.  Can I join you on Monday?

Have a previous engagement at Tahoe that weekend that's been on the books for months.
Have a great time everyone.

I've never tried self rescue in the ocean or while wearing my wetsuit. Seems like a worthwhile thing to do. Plus getting advice from an expert! I'm in. I think I'll drive up Saturday so I can get in some fishing too!
