Overview

Part 3 of the 3 part course on Intermediate Sea Kayaking. This session will put all 3 sessions together. We will plan a route in Boston Harbor and take turns leading the group. You will need to plan a route, lead & navigate a segment of that route, perform rescues in open water, learn to manage an emergency including use of a marine radio, and tow an incapacitated paddler. At the end of this course you should be confident to lead a group of friends safely in coastal waters. and (hopefully) continue your training as an AMC sea kayak leader (not required).
