The Georgian Bay Storm Gathering is for intermediate paddlers and instructors seeking one last weekend paddling on the Bay before winter sets in. Together, we'll work through a practical yet informal weekend of sea kayaking with emphasis on rough water conditions, safety/risk management, and skills development.
We expect everyone to come, ready to share, participate and have fun. Your development as a paddler will be entirely up to you. We're here to create opportunities for learning.
Okay, here's the real reason. David and Tim wanted to get wet and cold in wind and waves with a bunch of other paddlers, then come back to warm cabins and tell
lies stories about it in great detail.
