Discoveries Canoeing 2015

A beautiful sunny day.  A few clouds and actually it spitted a little around the middle of the day.  Almost no wind.

5:30  Left Brisbane via Maccas at Oxley where I bought a coffee.
7:10 Arr Moogerah.
Breakfast Bacon & Scrambled eggs.
Whole group safety talk:
a) If you get tired let the canoe get blown to the bank and eventually we will come and get you.
b) Sunscreen, Shoes, Hat.
c) Don't deliberately tip out in the middle. (We will tip over when we get back)
d) If you don't feel safe doing it, you can play in a conoe near the bank.

Went and set up - Not enough time allocated here as it ate into the first groups time plus we extended their slot to compensate. 

7 groups (as I recall).  Each for about 1hr.  Typ program was
Get PFD (They should just call it a "Life Jacket")
Get paddle.  Shorter than the person if possible.
Stand in a circle.  Demo holding the paddle & taking strokes & changing hands.

Canoe across to the opposite shore.
Weave through the dead trees.
