Spending time with the Yakity Yak Leaders and Canoe & Kayak instructors on the Professional Development Training days has been great fun and informative. The summer is lining up to be a whopper too with lots of fun teaching my son and a bunch of his and my friends the joys of river boating. As the Christmas Season approaches we start to get busier and stress levels build. It is easy to lose patience on the road. We can overtake with no spare room for error and unwisely say things in the heat of the moment. On the water we are naturally much more relaxed. People wave and share news and stories, taking time to enjoy travelling. This relaxed attitude applied on the road, giving way to others to make their life easier, smiling and saying “good day” and generally taking the time to help another Kiwi on the road, will make for a relaxed and safer summer. 125mm, 360 degree LED light Safety Flag & Light Be seen day or night with Safety Flag LED Light unit Don’t rush.
