Eriú News

Many thanks to Sean and Eoghan Keegan for patiently teaching our eager group of Sixers and Seconders the basic skills for safely enjoying canoeing / kayaking.  Our cubs have canoed around the two inner harbours out to the Ice House and back, learned how to capsize and tap whilst wearing their spray decks, and finally how to launch off the pier and paddle away without even one capsize! Well done Anna, Laura, Alex and Barra!
