Sea Kayak With Gordon Brown V2

As with my review of the first edition of Sea Kayak With Gordon Brown, let me cut to the chase here.  Volume 2 includes a new trip, a bit of a history lesson, and lots of new skill work in real world conditions. V2 is a fun, tight presentation that will add to your skill set and keep you sitting in front of your TV from beginning to end… Well, unless you find yourself impulsively loading up the kayak to rush out and try something he’s just presented.  For my part, I was able to take away and apply one new-found method to a class almost immediately. The new (to me) gem gave 2 students a much quicker success than they would have otherwise.  For one student, it was the only answer that worked. As she was sitting back up in her kayak and smiling ear-to-ear.. I told her, “You have Gordon Brown to thank for this one.”  I don’t think I can give the DVD a better compliment than that.  There’s a lot of good stuff in there, even for us coaches and more experienced paddlers to take in.           Continue reading

I HAVE been in a multitude of shapes,
Before I assumed a consistent form.
I have been a sword, narrow, variegated,
I will believe when it is apparent.
I have been a tear in the air,
I have been the dullest of stars.
I have been a word among letters,
I have been a book in the origin…
- the battle of the trees, book of taliesin

Just a few words seem to tie all my recent and approaching days together.  Each sub-set of ideas fly around them like ribbons around a  single maypole.  The  holiday adorned children dancing beyond I fear, represent a sanity long gone.  Skipping backwards through their common cloud to the foundation left apart,  the words I read have little in common;  Wisconsin, Scotland, Muir, monster,  architect, Wales &  fudge. Yet they keep coming up.  Together they become one… Continue reading
