ECCKF Round Two

We made it back to the East Coast Canoe & Kayak Festival in Charleston SC this past weekend. No pictures this time. We jammed the weekend full of master classes (expert teachers, not old learners) on the water, tent classes, vendor tent browsing, boat demoing, and a beginner's class on rolling (me, that is; not Kathleen). We only went for the festival deciding to hotel it rather than rent a place on Folly Beach. It was a good decision. As it turns out, we were beat at the end of each day and didn't want to do much at night. Kathleen threw out her knee getting out of a boat after class on the first day. And, by the end of the weekend, I had a massive crick in my neck from poor sweep turn form on the windblown pond and then unsuccessful attempts to roll in the last class on the last day. No trips in the area this time. Next time! And next time, hopefully, we'll have better boats to take the classes with. The Charleston Park & Rec folks had nice boats available for the classes but it's harder to learn technique in an unfamiliar boat.
