Things to Do at the Beach, Galactica Point, Friday Morning, Class #2

As the students approached, they should see a number of boats, oars, and, of course, the bright orange PFDs.

"Good morning, everyone," Jarod said as he looked warily up at the sky, which was very cloudy. "Assuming the weather holds, today we'll be canoeing."

"First are the parts of the boat," Jarod said, as he pointed them out. "Next, there are several strokes," he said, demonstrating, "paddling a canoe should feel very different to you from paddling a kayak. First, you have to put one hand on the butt and the other on the shaft, and you should keep your hands in the same position, instead of twisting your wrists like you did last week."

"Finally, you choose your paddle by putting the butt on your foot. The height of the blade of the paddle should be between your eyes and your nose. So!" He smiled brightly, "go forth and paddle, but if there's thunder, be prepared to come back in."


[ooc: Assuming everyone shows up, we have an odd number of students in the class, so Jarod'll canoe with the last person to sign in--solo canoeing is a completely different activity and requires a lot more expertise.]

Jack signs in! "Hi Jarod. More knots today?"

"Nah. That's okay." He smiled innocently. "All this talk of butts and shafts has got my attention, though." A snicker completely obliterated the attempt at innocence and he grinned at Jarod.

"Come on, Isabel. You said you'd do something with me. This is perfect."

Jack grabbed her hand and tugged her towards the paddles, passing her one while he held another up in front of him.

[ZOMG Isabel totally modded with permission!]

Jaye lays on the beach. Because she'll be at work while fun is being had. Therefore laying! =)

"If you dump us, I will beat with this paddle," Isabel threatened as she measured the paddle to check that it was the proper size. "Keep in mind, I've never done this before."

After surviving her canoeing adventure with Jack, Isabel stopped to talk to Jarod before heading back to the dorms. "Hey Jarod! I've got a question."

"I was wondering if I could possibly borrow a canoe one day next week." She grinned, "It's my turn to arrange the date and I think canoeing might be fun."

"Together is sort of the whole point of it," Isabel laughed. "But I promise, we'll wear our life jackets, and stay safe. I appreciate it. Thanks."

Molly spent some time trying to find the correct sized paddle and waited for someone to canoe with.

Jude managed to get his PFD on without tangling himself up and found a paddle without bonking himself in the head. He was totally getting better.

He wandered up to the girl he didn't know and smiled a bit sheepishly. "Um, hey, bra. Lookin' for a partner?"

"I am," Molly said. "You too?"
