Getting ready…
A new group of students arrives at ISDSI at the end of the week. In addition to planning meetings, confirming activities and course details, we’re pulling and cleaning gear, sorting equipment, and getting the expedition side of our courses ready. To do expedition based experiential learning well requires a lot of gear!
Paddles for sea kayaks and canoes.
Carrie cleaning and drying PFDs.
Even more PFDs (we have a LOT of PFDs).
Masks and sea kayak pumps. Seawater wreaks havoc on gear, so we've got to clean and soak it in fresh water.
Aaron soring gear, tents, scientific testing equipment and other things.
Some (but not all) of our gear storage. It is a constant challenge to keep things sorted and organized well.
Drying tents (just before an unseasonal rain!)
