We're in!!! Rolling fun too!!

Hey Alan,
Let's get it started. Sunday looks like a great day for a paddle. We'll bring along the avataq's too for anyone missing their Greenland rolling practice, the water's still warm enough. Let's see how many paddlers we can get out on Sunday, we have two days. GO!
