West Michigan Sea Kayak Symposium
THANKS EVERYONE
What an event!! Before I say anything about what went on i just want to say a huge thanks to all of the organisers and to everyone that attended. The symposium surprised me in so many ways. The main thing that jumps out at me is how friendly everyone was and how the group really got to know each other over the weekend. On the saturday night i gave my lecture in the lakeside cabin to about 200 people. On the sunday night Betsy Bay and Pocket Change played some amazing tunes. I think that everyone was strutting their stuff on the floor at some point.
Thanks to certain individuals the idea of dollar dances was brought up to raise money for kayaking for cancer. Now i came across some intemidating conditions on my way around ireland, but give me the waves over a flashing strobe duck taped to my head anyday. On a serious note thanks to everyone who put the dancing together as we managed to raise $1100 in total. Raising this much money means alot to me and the weekend will be one i will never ever forget. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as i did.

Yeah we both lost to Adriene but at least you got your flatwater loop... and that under the hull sculling roll.
Simon, what's an improvers event?
Josh
have a look at the photos for an improvers session. It is basically for people who have done an intro to sea kayaking course and want to get their skills up.
Hello Simon,
Glad you got home safely.
It was a real pleasure having you stay with us, even though it was brief. You are welcome anytime you want to just hang for a while.
Sounds like you guys had a real memorable adventure. I am envious.
