Early morning stretch and paddle on Middle Harbour with a distance est.@ 20km.

Meet at 7:30am, on the water ASAP and returning by midday. The course paddled may change, subject to conditions on the day.  (Put in to be confirmed)

The forecast looks great, so the current plan is Route B (a North Harbour circuit – from Middle Harbour to Grotto Point, Manly and on to Quarantine Station and Collins Beach for coffee and a stretch) – if conditions and paddlers up for it. This paddle includes crossing semi-exposed water between Grotto Point and Quarantine Station.

Inside Sydney Harbour the conditions can get windy and choppy; paddlers need to be comfortable negotiating boat wash and remain alert to boat traffic at all times.

This paddle is suitable for confident paddlers (F1/F2) capable of manoeuvring their kayaks in challenging conditions, who can perform deep water rescues.

The paddle will only be undertaken in reasonable conditions (see risk assessment), with landings and exits from shore, with a slight chance of small surf.

Note: this paddle will require participants to supply their own kayak (>4.5m), paddle, life jacket, kayak skirt, paddle leash and other necessary paddling equipment or to organise to borrow the necessary equipment from the club yourself (separately). People without the correct gear will not be allowed to participate.

Registrations are required in advance.  The registration cut-off is 4pm on Saturday 11th October. Register here: https://paddleaustralia.azolve.com/Workbench/i/r/public/EventsAndBookingsPublic/details/78A56B0332B9B570EAEE4F2F90F35AB16BE93FF7/

If there is sufficient interest in this paddle series, hope to make it a regular weekly paddle to get out on the water, help maintain paddle fitness and to enjoy the company of fellow enthusiastic paddlers. 

Cheers,

Karen
