Hi yall, have not been putting much up here again and I get asked about it so i get conciencious again and blog on. I have actualy been doing heaps so I will get a few more bits posted. For us multisport ,Tri Geeks , the season is over with all the normal battle stories and Bulls###t tales of what went wrong and how we are going to have a great season next year.
For Myself I am going to be putting my hat in the ring for another go at representing Australia at the worlds in Vancouver 2008 participating in the 50 – 55 age group.
Here in South East Queensland we are starting to get cooler weather and early dark so i like to head out for a paddle with my training buddy wayne. We are looking at the August adventure race on the Gold coast.
Heading off from Godwin Beach
Pulling on the wet suit as we get into the water
With the changes regards the water temp rulings in the last season or so there is not of wetsuit swims in SEQld so they come in handy open top Kayak night paddles.
Foredeck port and starboard lights and the Bribie Island Bridge lights
We headed of towards South point against the top1/4 of in coming tide.
by keeping close to Sandstone point we navigated out of the tide as much as possible. A night paddle is great fun I would normaly do it when the moon is full as the lighting is awsesome if you get a breezless cloudless night.
No Moon but still great glassy seas
We stayed between Cooks Rocks and dodged the Mangrove trees that are on the oyster lease area then headed for the flashing green opposite Buckleys hole Conservation park.
Great paddle no wind smooth seas and some great night lights. After getting to south point we headed up the passage and turned left heading back home.
Heading Back to the boat ramp
Its hard to hold a camera still enough even though its perfectly calm .
We had a good couple of hours and enjoyed a great paddle
