In other news!

I've finally mastered the eskimo roll in my kayak. It wasn't looking good for a long time. I tried it every time Paddy and I went paddling with no luck. I even went to a double pool session (2 full hours of roll practice) and didn't get it. I wont lie to you, there were tears. It's very hard! For weeks I had rolling dreams.
THEN, in pool session no.2 I got it! I was wearing goggles and the first time I got myself up and it had me bawling with joy, filling my goggles with happy little tears!
AND I've done it 4 (four) times on a real river.
Yes, I rock.
