Upside Down

In August the paddle club were supposed to do a huli practice, but they didn't so we arranged a huli today, we enlisted four of our regulars for a safety boat (OC-4) and managed to recruit six for our huli boat (OC-6) and paddled out to the breakwater and all agreed, at the same time, to turn that canoe upside down.

We upturned our outrigger canoe, tipped it back and then, one by one, climbed back into it. It certainly was not textbook, but we all managed to do quite well. Afterwards we discussed what was right and what was wrong with the huli with our (dry) buddies in the support boat, and agreed that we learned more from what we did wrong than what we did right, I think we all thought it would be beneficial to do it all again, but as a group wisely decided that the pub was a better venue for discussion and getting wet.
Great day, soooo tired (and now a little drunk). 

Thanks everyone.
