Event Information
- Description
- Winds and weather are supposed to be fairly calm Tues, so it will be a nice evening for a canoe lesson. This canoe lesson, distinct from our kayak lesson, teaches you how to work as a team to make a tandem canoe go where you want to go, and gives you the canoe lake rating needed to go on outing club canoe trips or to paddle on Lake Mendota. We normally don't purposely capsize to practice rescues, but it's hard to keep your feet dry in a canoe, so wear some kind of footwear that stays on and can get wet such as Tevas/sport sandals or sneakers. Also don't bring stuff that needs to stay dry (stash backpacks.in a locker at the boathouse). Be sure to come on time if you sign up. Meet at the Memorial Union waterfront by the Outdoor UW office. We will be using the aluminum canoes to not interfere with the canoe repair session.
