Marlo and I are just thrilled! I think I've made more float trips with Karla over the years than anyone has and her 'dogged' determination has been impressive. Rolling is the only thing I haven't felt qualified to work on with her, but thanks to the equal determination of people like Heather, Cowper and others. I couldn't be more pleased with Karla, and each of you for your help and inspiration!

One time I told Karla that I didn't take formal swimming lessons until I was ten years old but the day I finally jumped off that high-dive and swam across the deep end gave me a feeling that I had again on the day I executed my first roll!

Very Best Regards

Thanks for all your congratulations. I have had a lot of help along the way by ones that have volunteered to help me and I really appreciate alls help. I tried a different boat that really was easier to roll, hopefully I can repeat this in my burn.

I'm wondering what kind of boat you switched to if you didn't use your Remix. Congrats on the roll!! :clap: :beer:

Karla,
I do not know how long you have been trying to master the "roll" but I would bet, when Cowper said "a lot hard work and perseverance" went in to reaching this goal, he was not overstating the facts on how much effort you had placed into accomplishing this feat. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
