We will meet at Cornet Bay; review relevant strokes; move in and out of eddies; ferry across tidal streams – on the ebb current. We'll have lunch; then repeat on the flood. If you have some experience in tidal currents, and would like to polish or refine your skills, this would be a good opportunity to do it. Immersion clothing, helmet, tow belt, hearty lunch and beverage recommended.
