Did you paddle Little Eas Patrick? That's a tricky one, it catches out a lot of people.

Gav made me change this.

Location:Clare Glens (1.15 on guage) S bend
Shitty excuse:After a very sketchy roll between sidewinder and constriction, wasn't very certain of my strokes... ended up sideways at start of S bend, not sure how, Colm Slevin barrelled into me, as he was too close to avoid me, sending me side surfing a sizeable hole for a few seconds... Turned boat down river, however the flow then got on top of my back, and banana'd me... bailed in the hole, thankfully it didn't hold me...
Emotional Issues arising from the event: swore to try out future new paddles on a less fast flowing river/level first... Also skipped Big & Little Eas, not that I was likely to try them
Persons requiring rescue pints: Yianni for me, Neal Kelly/Donal Murphy/Colm for helping with boat...
Swim Bootie Y/N (Evidence) N

Wasn't high enough to go left on the rock, nearly, but not enough... So centre, with last stroke on right... Keep the nose up... Scraped my paddles on it :L

Shitty excuse: I'm not sure, probably something really dumb
People requiring rescue pints : Again I can't remember
Emotional issues arising from the event: I seriously need to get my shit together and learn to paddle properly and independently again because I know if I just paddled lime I was paddling last summer this swim wouldn't have happened
Swim Bootie : Nope
