We had out regular Sunday morning paddle in beautiful sunshine. Met in Garrurus at 10AM and paddled to Annstown and back. Bumped into some other people on the water in a mixture of sit on tops and regular kayaks. Pat and Paul spotted a sea otter.
I've finally ditched the Pawlatta in favour of the screw roll. Last week I had trouble rolling with the Pawlatta and decided to try the screw roll. Mick was spotting me and reckoned I was just about there. Even though the roll felt good I didn't quiet manage to come up. I find the extra leverage of Pawlatta is hard on the elbow and I'm now wondering if it was my choice of this roll which strained it in the first place. So this week I decided to totally drop the Pawlatta and concentrate on the screw roll. I gave three attempts and come up each time! I was amazed at how effortless it felt.
The elbow is making good progress - nightly icing combined with my elbow strap (developed by a kayaker www.jacstrap.com) when paddling is proving a great help.
