Fear of unknown - Kayak stage

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. - NELSON MANDELA, Autobiography


I was a little concerned about the kayak stage of Gael Force West, mainly because I have never used a kayak. I need not have worried. After a 10 minute tutorial and an hour of practice on the water I feel confident I can complete the Kayak stage. I am not saying I will be very fast but it's a short stage so it just need to be completed without falling in.

Like most challenges in life it's the unknown that we fear. My advice is to "just do it". In the words of Henry Ford "whether you think you can or can't, you're right"

Thanks to Fingal Sailing School for the lesson.
