"Uh Oh Moments and What Now?"
Main Page
There are times when you find yourself in a place and time when you suddenly realize that you shouldn't be there because something bad is going to happen. I have decided to call these "Uh Oh Moments". See USK article "Uh Oh Moments In Kayaking" that started this idea of sharing our moments. I believe there is a lot to learn from other's experiences of being caught off guard with serious potential consequences approaching. This page is not meant to judge those who generously share their experiences. Some of these stories may be funny, some may be scary and some may be devastating with very serious consequences that have resulted.
I would like to post the "Uh Oh Moments" to raise our collective awareness. The educator in me also wants to add a "What Now?" aspect to these moments. That means, not only do we want to read what the "Uh Oh Moment" was, we want to know the action taken (if any), which is the answer to "What Now?" If you want to share the details of the consequences it will be your choice. I also want others to add constructive "What Now?" answers to the "Uh Oh Moments" that get posted. I will offer my own constructive comments if I have any. Again, this is not a forum for criticizing. I will sensor any inappropriate comments. Self deprecating comments are allowed (within reason), because I feel we are all entitled to yell at ourselves.
If you decide to send in your own moments or other comments, please include in your e-mail that "USK has the right to print your story or comments". Also indicate if you want your name included or not. If you do not specifically say to include your name I will post it as anonymous. Send all stories and comments to study@useakayak.org.
