Pictures from NOC

As I said, I didn't have a waterproof camera, so I didn't take any pictures myself. However, one of the other students from the clinic just sent some pictures that they took.

In the top picture, we are on the lake just beginning to learn how to paddle our kayaks. I am the one in the red boat with the red helmet and red PFD.

In the second picture, we are practicing hip snaps, a technique that we also used for boat to boat rescues. I am the one in the red boat on the right, pulling the yellow boat closer to me.




In the picture below that, we are catching an eddy and waiting to ferry across the river.



I am not in the picture on the bottom, but that is a good example of the type of rapids that we paddled through on the rivers. Some parts were faster than that, and other parts were slower.
