A big thanks to Alan, Des, Sonja & all participants for a really useful weekend! Felt like a couple of years paddling condensed into a single bad dream... Character building stuff for all involved and even a few Oscar nominations. The event provided valuable tools and strategies for dealing with groups and eventualities on the seas, and highlights the tough task of keeping a group safe, together and happy on the water. Hats off to all those who make it look so simple! Paul

Thanks to everyone for the fun and really informative weekend.
And thanks especially to Martin who showed great restraint by not actually hitting me with his paddle...

Below is the link to a few photos from the day.
