Turning the canoe

Some of you may have seen this before but for the inrush of new members, check out the turn around the buoy for the Fraser Coast crew.

Note

1.       Seat #2 on wrong side prior to buoy and then…….

2.       First 2 seats draw water really deep on Left, seat 5 draw on Right, steerer really “rowing” the canoe as part of “poke”

3.       With the flat water and light weight crew only draw for 2 strokes to start the turn and steerer starts to pull the canoe out of the turn

4.       After 3 more strokes seat 2 changes back to the correct side
