Training
Saturday 14 July 2012
Midway Point paddle
wind - 26km/h nw with an outgoing tide in the
same direction
Kayak - Grafton Chrono
The conditions were messy. I did a 7.2km
anti-clockwise lap of my course at a cruising pace of 10.4km/h av - time
41.40
I saw the 2 sea eagles again as I paddled - 1
flying and 1 watching from an old tree.
As I packed up a bloke was taking out an old
aluminium dinghy with an even older mercury outboard. His 'missus'
looked absolutely thrilled to be going out fishing in the cold wind and
approaching rain.
I left while he was still trying to start the
motor as she rowed the boat - battling the current & wind.
