Rolling Practice

I've tried rolling practice on 2 occasions this last week. Last year, I had zero luck reestablishing a decent roll. However, on today's practice I had modest luck and am inordinately encouraged. I had a decent roll, maybe 10 years ago for a season, but lost it. At age 84+, will I find it again? Maybe.

The kayak I have been using is the new-to-me Boreal Design Ellesmere, a model I used to roll consistently during that long ago season.  So far (including the occasional wet exit) the hatches do not leak water. I think I'll keep this kayak until I'm done with the sport. Note that it's difficult to find a nursing home that provides kayak storage.
