Bob Foote & Karen Knight Classes
by John Ohrt

Bob Foote & Karen Knight, two of the finest canoeists in the US, have agreed to give two separate one day classes to HCC members in October if enough people sign up soon enough.
Saturday October 23rd will be a solo canoeing class and Sunday October 24th will be a tandem class. Each is limited to 10 people per class, first come first served. The cost is $45.00 per person per day. This is a fraction of what comparable classes would cost you in North Carolina plus having to drive 1,000 miles.
The classes will be at Oyster Creek in Sugar Land and go from 9 to 5. This is a trememdous once in a lifetime opportunity to get instruction at the highest level right here in our own backyard. This is a chance to improve your canoeing skills which can open up a wider world of possibilities for your boating. If you are interested I need to hear from you right away as Bob and Karen have to make other plans if we can't fill the classes.
I can't believe that we don't have people in the club who want to get better and paddle more interesting rivers. I have four people already, so call me at 713.877-1504 or e mail me at jcohrtjr@aol.com. These classes are targeted to HCC members, but it is not financed by HCC so we need to know asap if you are interested. In a few weeks we will open it up to paddlers from around the state and you might get left out.
