Ocean to City race.


Got my Time off the Ocean to City site... 3:33min.. i guess not bad or a first over 15 miles!!! ( I am chuffed!)












































Well it was a great day on the water, and the weather was very good.The only problem was a stiff breeze from the north in our face for most of the race, but we got there in the end.
I think i came in around 3.5 hours, but i will find out later in the week.
And if i am going to do it again... i will do it in a sit inside touring kayak!
They burned me up!!!!!
(actually there was a RTM Tempo kayak which was VERY fast!)
Ah...... now .....back to the fishing........

Paddle plan

Season closed, so what to do?
A paddle will clear the cobwebs... about 3 hours in total and the paddle back was hard due to the wind in my face...
Foud a crackin mullet mark though.... will post some vid later....
So i think a try with the "Poo" fly may be in order... remember it???

quick paddle after work......

Finished work at four on Friday and brought the yak with me... wanted to get out for a paddle to stop me from seizing up!
I left the fishing gear at home because the light would go quickly... and when i got there the conditions were perfect... it was really nice out there watching the sun dip... and i had a nice paddle.
I wish the light would have lasted longer though.....
