We Tried Sea Kayaking!

Last weekend Lucas and I took the plunge and tried sea kayaking.  We wanted to join the kayaking club in town (they organize some amazing trips) but in order to do this you have to take a 2 day skills course. The 2 day course was actually amazing.  I learned so much and now feel totally prepared to sea kayak.

The morning of day one was a little bit of a talk and some pool time to practice emergency drills and flipping over. In the afternoon we went out to Porirua Bay (north of Wellington) and practiced paddling technique.  Day 2 we reviewed gear (which was so helpful), little more lesson time, and went back to Porirua to go out further into the bay. 

We don't have a waterproof camera so I didn't get too many photos but more to come on our next kayaking trip.
