Under the Spanish sky...

The first official day of the Llanca seakayaking symposium was like kayaking in Spain is supposed to be: blue sky, crystal clear water and an air temperature of 20-plus degrees Celsius. I coached 2 workshops today. In the morning a clinic on rescues and self rescues together with Nigel Dennis I started with the basic part, Nigel completed the workshop with tips and demonstrations on towing and rescueing in rocky situations. Humble me: what an honor to work together with a top coach like Nigel!
In the afternoon Marc Martin, Phill Clegg and I gave rolling classes. Conditions were perfect. Participants too.
Pagaia served a real Spanish lunch. Dominique, Jos'e and the other people of Pagaia are taking good care of us!
No Dolphins today, jellyfish instead. A totally different kind of species, but also a fascinating animal.

A picture for Lieke: hij is heel lief!

Surprise of the day was a nice meeting with Wenly - the Spanish kayakblogger of the stylish "Journal on open sea and coastal kayak paddling"-blog. We never met in real life before, but we both recognized eachother at first glance...
