<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We had 12 participants at today's practice and play
session at Channel Islands Harbor. Bev Waldron, Dick and Maryke Brannin, Chris
Wood, Patrick Martin, George Miller, Peter O'Sullivan, John Petersen, Win
Aldrich, Paul Jonason, John Ernst, and me. Carol Miller joined us afterward for
lunch. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We launched at 9 AM and headed to the Pond where we
broke up into small groups to work on various skills. Because several group
members were trying new skills we had our share of challenges, but we found
those to be good learning opportunities for everyone involved. We even ended up
improvising in some cases to get people back into their boats. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After a couple hours most were getting tired and
chilly and we split up. Some of us played in the surf and paddled out to the
breakwater. Some landed for a break while they warmed up. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A little after noon we called it a day and headed
in to the beach. Afterward we shared stories and good food at Daddio's.
</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to Peter O'Sullivan for leading and
organizing and to everyone who came out to learn new skills or to help others.
