I live for paddling - but definitely NOT for racing and competition, unless it's against a whitewater river!  I keep the Board reminded about all things recreational - especially if it involves touring, camping and lots of whitewater. Coming to paddling and the River Canoe Club when the kids could barely walk taught us all to either paddle well or drown. But drown we did not, with 2 of the 3 kids doing their family proud when representing Australia in Freestyle and Slalom. Retirement certainly beats over 30 years in Education and Administration in the TAFE system and has allowed me to bring these skills to the management committee of NSWCI and PaddleNSW.  When allowed "holidays" from PaddleNSW management we head for rivers Australia wide and overseas, notching up the Grand Canyon, the Zambesi, NZ South island and many in Europe. Could life be any better?
