Probus kayak trip
Another Friday--another 13.5Km kayak trip -Wally's wharf to SW Arm again, in excellent weather. We also did the walk from the creek outlet to Winifred Falls back up the creek, which I hadn't done before. There were 17 kayaks and kayakers. At Winifred Falls

Yowie Bay
Just before our 8.30am start from Yowie bay wharf on Friday, son in law Craig came down with Cavoodle Freddy on their morning walk. Craig took the pic while I struggled to restrain over-enthusiastic Freddy. In spite of almost continuous rain this week, we managed a three hour

FASS committee, Kayak at Kiama and brunch at Bianchini
Just to show our current French group committee--I know you're interested (?) Including me and the 'phone in from our President, Marc, that's 10, of whom half are native or fluent in French. A jolly bunch. Exactly half men/women and not by 'quotas&
Kayaking
Needles
More for my own record--picture of the 'Needles' at the end of the navigable part of the Woronora river. I guess the rocks are the 'needles' . There's certainly some rocks only just submerged, that you have to be careful of! It's

SW Arm 26th August Probus
About 20 (a record!) set off from either Wally's Wharf or Lilli Pilli scout hall against a strong tide and headwind of about 20knots! We visited Saddle Gully Creek (sheltered from the wind) and took a pic of about half of us at the end of SW Arms.
Kayaking
Burnham Burnham to Scylla Bay today
Just to show what I do most Friday mornings. This is today. approx 10kms. Some did 18kms! There were 16 of us altogether but difficult to get them all in one bunch as they're a straggley bunch of blokes! The water is much cleaner now, after the sediment
Kayaking
Probus trip to NW Arm and Muddy Creek
We were lucky to avoid rain and enjoyed a 12km trip with about 13 kayakers. Muddy Creek (left) , surprisingly, proved easier to navigate to end rather than NW Arm. NW Arm seems much more developed with housing than KI remember from 20 years ago.

Probus trip 25.03.2022 SW Arm
Another Friday where it DIDN'T rain on the trip--amazing. La Nina is certainly a change from El Nino and almost certainly more intense due to Global warming. Our daughter returned from the UK says she'll never complain about British weather again! Left Wally's
Kayaking
Lost in mangroves -again!
Another Probus kayak trip from Ilawong old fisherman's wharf to Hurstville bay via Jewfish bay. We took an early wrong turn and the area reminded me of Tokien's 'Mewlips' from his Tom Bombadil book. There was also a memorial plaque on a rock and
Kayaking
Minamurra
22 of us drove to the south coast for this trip (!) The first pic not the best pic of us , because everyone has put their pics in the club magazine and you can't copy anything. So this is a screenshot. I'm on extreme right with green

Warumbul 15.02. 2022 with Tony and Mike
We set off from Tonkin Oval boat ramp, down Gunamatta Bay and up the river to Warumbul. Lots of interesting cross currents and an increasing wind which hit us head-on while returning along Gunamatta Bay; very demanding, but overall a good trip. It was Mike's first trip
