A pretty steady wind from the North kept drifting us into the fishing pier; so a quick move around to the South side of the dock gave us a protected spot where all the rollers could practice their rolls. Once everyone was satisfied with what they wanted to do, we decided on a short paddle before heading back to Ann &amp; the mobile bagel\/hot beverage\/changing room support vehicle. We barely paddled a mile East &amp; didn\u2019t quite make it to the Wantagh Pkwy bridge before the allure ofhot chocolate had us all turned around &amp; heading back West to Field 10 to call it a day. But our practice wasn\u2019t quite over.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/get-the-nack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Coldwater-PP-24.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3351\" src=\"https:\/\/get-the-nack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Coldwater-PP-24-1024x635.jpg\" alt=\"Coldwater PP (24)\" width=\"600\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/get-the-nack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Coldwater-PP-24-1024x635.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/get-the-nack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Coldwater-PP-24-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While using a passing wake from a big motorized barge as opportunity to capsize &amp; practice just \u2018one more roll\u2019, Bob got an unexpected lesson that his roll wasn\u2019t quite bombproof (yet) &amp; will now put those upcoming pool sessions to good use working on coming up from his offside. Debbie &amp; Steve also got an opportunity to team up for the assisted rescue while I got to fill in for Lynne &amp; take pics! Once back near shore I practiced getting assisted-rescued myself. The heelhook re-entry went well but my bow rescues not so much. Took a few tries to \u2018get-the-nack\u2019 again. Glad for the opportunity to getthis practice in before it really gets cold. And \u2018specially glad for Ann coming out, sticking around &amp; keeping that generator cranking for our Apr\u00e8s-yak donuts &amp; hot chocolate.
