scamlin Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Just a reminder that we still have openings for the class room sessions on April 22 and April 29.These workshops are for paddlers at all levels: people just starting to paddle and people who can paddle, but want to brush up on how to plan before going out. It is especially targeted at participating in club trips.In the April 22 class, we'll cover weather forecasts, tides and currents, how to predict conditions, route planning and reading nautical charts. In the April 29 class, we'll cover the CAM concept (Common Adventure Model) that the club uses, plus what happens on club trips: beach briefings, launching and landing, traveling on the water, plus dealing with group issues and emergencies.Classes are 10 AM to 3 PM.To sign up and get more details, please RSVP to scamlin at restructassoc dot com Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Just a reminder that we still have openings for the class room sessions on April 22 and April 29. Presenters who are knowledgeable, skilled and "been there". Provides what anyone needs to plan and undertake safe journeys on the ocean. Free. Given the incredible value of these workshops on every level, hard to believe there is still room. And it will likely be a crummy weather day on Sunday.
