If you’re wondering why it’s been so grey and gloomy here in Wisconsin it’s probably because Megan the Canoecopia Goddess left us and ran to Georgia to play in the sun. Brat! She’ll also be joined by fellow ‘bugateer’ Nydia K who will be doing her coach 2 training. I’m certainly there in spirit with Nydia, you “go girl!” as they say.

It’s a hard year to miss the Sea Kayak Georgia Party, especially considering almost all of the kayak coaching brat pack will be there including; Jeff Allen, Simon Osborne, Hadas Feldman, Phil Eccles, Nigel Dennis, Fiona Whitehead, Ben Lawry, Nigel Foster, Lamar Hudgins, Dale Williams, Mark Schoon, Mel Rice, Ollie Sandars and others. Of course Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson will also be there representing the sticky crowd.

For my part I sat around the living room watching This Is The Sea II for about the thousandth time with remote in hand, trying to get my brain those “half-rolls” when you get up in the air. Often for me learning is a zen thing. If I can visualize it long enough, at least occasionally, it will happen. Sometimes. Since you rarely get the chance to actually practice that move around here I’m training in my mind. . .

Meanwhile if you’ve not been looking round the blogging world recenty here’s what you’ve missed. . .

Justine’s Posh Frock

. . . and much, much more!!
