In theory, our group has today and tomorrow off while the other group white water canoes. I hoped I would sleep in a bit but couldn't so made myself an omelet, did some way overdue cleaning, and then headed back to GCC to do some work study. Haven't done much of it lately. Tonight I need to continue working on my "Fundamentals of River Currents" presentation and start reading about "Tides and Currents" for my coastal kayaking presentation. I've always wanted to know how to read tidal schedules and now I'll learn. We have to make lesson plans that are interactive for beginners.
Heard that there was commotion yesterday when someone saw the other group on the river white water kayaking and learning swift water rescue. Because a couple of people have drowned recently in that area, the person called the police who responded along with the environmental police and a reporter. After talking with Austin, they were apparently impressed with the background of the instructors and the experience of the students, as well as the precautions and equipment required, including dry suits and helmets, and the number of alumnae who have gone on as accomplished paddlers. Unfortunately, the reporter chose not to include pertinent information in his article and went for the more sensational and irresponsible bent. Ah, freedom of the press! Made our rusted out muffler of little consequence.
Tomorrow, course work. Friday, Coastal Kayaking planning day.
