<DIV>Thank you Lee, and Peter and all of you Braves who were willing to
share your knowledge and skills, stories and PATIENCE. So nice
to meet all of you. I was so impressed and humbled once again.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks Bev for being there, us gals have to stick and shiver
together.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would love to be back and do this again if you all let me.
But first some push ups and may be some testosterone? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Daddy-O's was the BEST!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again for a super day...I'll be back,</DIV>

<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> </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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best, <BR>Lee</FONT></DIV>
