LoCo Roundup 2011

For the past five years Ginni Callahan and Columbia River Kayaking have put on the Lower Columbia River Kayak Symposium. This symposium has been filled with great BCU kayaking classes run by great coaches. Just as important, it has been a great time to hang out with people we really like.

We've gone most years and this year I drove up to Cathlamet to again take part.

With all the time I spent at work at Microsoft and now moving to San Francisco, I have not gotten out kayaking alot in the past couple years, so I focused on classes to get me back in the saddle. Classes on fine-tuning one's forward stroke, rolling, etc. And these classes really helped. My roll feels effortless again. I just feel more efficient paddling again. And we had a great time hanging out with all of our kayaking friends.

I didn't get any pictures while out paddling, but I did take a few one evening when Andrew was playing cello.
