Ocatagon Pond KNL Safety Day A Success!


Kayak Newfoundland Safety Day at Octagon Pond

It can be about boats of course.............


Ya gotta get'em there......



Canoes too.....



Yup, looks OK on that side....try before ya buy!



people helping others is common....



Getting them there is kind a fun too....



Getting in them even better......



Some were just contemplating, like the life guard......



some were just caught candidly smiling,,,,,



others were meeting new people and introducing to club members....



some were marching to their own tune like the Cadet Band....



other photo shy people were just marching to the lake...   :-)



some were already there like Louise looking golden as usual....



There were rescue demonstrations ........



.....sample tows.......



...and of course helping hands like Darren who took time of from his Master's work to be at the pond and lending a bit of assistance......



Well how does it happen you might ask? Well it takes dedicated people like Craig here and others who strike a committee and power on against odds and obstacles. A great job  an excellent day for only an evening session and maybe next year there will be even more interest by club members to participate and show up even if you've done a rescue or two before and maybe ........because!

You're right Tony it takes volunteers to make things happen. I didn't participate much at all in this one because of work but was able to make it for some photos. I know in summer months people have lots on the go but good on the ones that were able to make it!
