Well its been about 5 weeks since my last paddle. The weather hasn't been great so I've only missed two trips. It looks like I picked a good month to take a rest with my elbow injury. I did the VHF radio course and passed the exam so my next thing is to apply for a call sign. I also learned how to tie a few knots. The water knot and figure eight knots have now been added to my repertoire of how to get tangled up.
I rested my tennis elbow injury for the few weeks and have also being doing some strengthening exercises. Mick O'Meara suggested using an ice pack on the elbow every night for about 20 mins just before going to bed and that is really helping. I also use an elbow brace every time I go paddling so that should stop the elbow getting any worse and also help it to heal.
We had a nice paddle today and practised some towing and also some rescues and rolls. The water has warmed up a good bit and no longer freezes the face as soon as you go under. We had a good fun in Garurus so roll on more of the warm weather.
