This week? Wednesday Maybe?

[HelenaC]

yea im in cork so wont be going......;

[Diarmuid]

i pulled off so many aqua inversions, you should have seen it, that coupled with the stunning walking and re-entry into my boat was class

[HelenaC]

what?

[DervM]

180 aqua inversions! Whoah! That's like THE it trick right now, doncha know. So proud of you Diarmuid.

[HelenaC]

oh ye actually went!!! now i get it!


jaysus fairplay to ya!

[CormacR]

Diarmuid . You failed to mention your subsequential 180 suraqua rightation .

[Bill C]

Diarmuid, we need to have a serious talk. My sources have told me that on missing your first roll attempt, you - now let me get this completely straight - let go of your paddles to try a hand roll instead. Oh dear, where to begin? GAAAAH! Diarmuid upright + no paddles = Diarmuid right back over again. Now, the gear in the skip was silly, but this is just a bad idea!

[Eoghan]

from now on we will enforce a strict policy of if you go for a hand roll and the river doesn't punch you in the face, first rescuer to you will...

only place that a hand roll could even be thought of is the pool below jacksons (assuming you've lost your paddles)

[Bill C]

I second Eoghan's proposal. It's going into the safety and rescue protocol guidebook.

[HelenaC]

Bahahaha!!!

seems we should have this thread in the swims and quotes section!

[Diarmuid]

yes, silly underwater me did

[Maryanne]

Ah Wednesday paddling...sluice-tastic!

Ah, Diarmuid did very well for his first time at the races! I believe he's the first fresher this year to come out and survive a private trip (I could be wrong) well, joint first, if you count Cormac...which many people don't... ZING!

Great day, Cormac's rescue skills got a sharpening and Diarmuid successfully engineered a scenario for me to test out the rescue capabilities of the boat I was demoing. WIN!

Ah, spring...love is in the air..between me and playboating...and playboats...especially this one boat in particular...by the end of the session I didn't even care it was pink anymore (LIES! That happened about 20 minutes in  )

[Diarmuid]

Cormac's rescue skills got a sharpening

that and his empathy skills

[HelenaC]

are you implying that cormac also had a few mishaps?
