UPDATE NEW PHOTOS!

Tri Tri Tri    PlayTri again, yes it was the Playtri Festival…

Can you say 19 swim events in 3 days….I can  WOW!

And you know every single swimmer and every single kayaker for the entire 3 days gets out at the steps, and for 3 days these steps never fail to either group, and why do they not fail…. you ask??

Because behind every LCPT event our friend makes the steps with pride and skill so some 600 plus users and go up and down, into and out of the water safely, Thank You my Friend!

 

We also get some love from the men in blue…..and

gold….and safety orange, and   o well you get the idea!

Randy and Mike were on the Ski’s and their buds were

backing them up on the big party oops I mean CG flagship!

Thanks to all these guys for making our job a little easier!

and least we forget… these guys & gals  fun…..easier too!

Steve got some really cool shots on Saturday, well post

them all but here’s a preview…..

Thanks Steve!  you photos always ROCK us!

And not to worry we’ll post all the photos for all 3 days..

So can your trained eye tell the difference between a

1. highly skilled kayaker

or

2. highly skilled lifeguard?

We’ll it’s hard because the Lifeguards are highly trained in

both lifeguarding and water safety kayaking too!

Here’s a hint we also DO NOT require them to wear PFD’s

Why?  because they may be required to enter the water

and swim to a person in need, and you can do that faster

without a vest, just in case you were wondering…….

 

These events start early…

very early, and no we don’t

sleep at the event…

 

hum……………

I wonder where we could do that???

 

?????

 

Anyway there is a real cool benefit to being up and on the

water early in the am….

Not bad eh… perfect weather for a race, and kayaking too!

 

Thanks to all the volunteers that brave the elements, fight

the crowds, walk a mile to the water and then…help keep

everyone safe too….

 

Checkout all the photos, there’s a few… and remember to

join us for the next water safety event

 

Swim Across America next Saturday at Lake Ray Hubbard!

 

 

 

I told you there were a lot of pictures….. a whole lot!

You might not know my perception of jet ski’s  but it has not

been always …ahem….favorable…. unless   of course

it’s at the hands of a experienced Coast Guard professional

 

In case you don’t want to watch the entire video…

the answer is NO!

Special thanks to the CG

for getting that last filling in my teeth out
& for the total and complete sinus flush too!

I love kayaking more everyday!
