A longer trip (15km) than usual to Forbes Creek , past the famous Woronora Boat Shed cafe. 19 of us in all, quite a colourful selection of kayaks. Mine is the bright green one bottom right in picture. The week before, at our after paddle coffee, that trip is was a

It's all kayaking these days! Our Probus kayak group paddled the 13km trip Gunnamatta bay to very end of Cabbage Tree Creek on Friday. We have to get under a narrow footbridge to enter the basin and the tide runs swiftly through there, so we literally shot in

We adjusted the kayaks footrests at home then set off for Water Street ramp for Fisherman's bay, Maianbar. Krishna, in a single kayak for only the second paddle ever, became acquainted with the rudder control after a few interesting 'loops', while Prina had her first paddle

In very poor weather about 13 of us set out from Revesby on the Georges River , toward Mill Creek, followed by Salt Pan Creek. Mill Creek ended in a weir, perhaps that's where a mill was located in the past, and Salt Pan Creek ended in an area

Against tide and a 30kmph wind , 10 of us set off from Wally's wharf and were joined by 8 more who started from Lilli Pilli. We headed for SW Arm and explored a small creek before having morning tea - pictured below then paddled to end of SW Arm

Raining and 12 Deg C --not ideal but we set off from Water Street ramp anyway, as planned, for Krishna's first ever paddle! Krishna was quickly confident and paddling well, so we had a look at the sea and turned into Gunamatta Bay. Just as we passed Hungry

On a very calm and cool day I tried the new wharf at Lugarno Street. It's tiny! It worked well for getting to Bundeena. there's only street parking at the wharf and no water but I found a tap belonging to Eloura surf club who seem

On a great day for weather and tide we paddles from Wally's Wharf to the Basin entrance at HT, to find it rather stagnant due to the sand blockages. We paddled along the shoreline, all now reinforced with huge bags of rocks, to the toilet area (of course!

Spurred by my last successful paddle there, I chose a very calm day today, with the right tide changes, while Mary was choir-warbling, to paddle to Bundeena for a coffee and hot cross bun. It was lovely to do it in a very relaxed way. As a bonus, the

On a hot day (30+ ) we caught the incoming tide to go upriver to SW Arm and after an hour's exploring, caught the outgoing tide to take us back. Very handy, but still quite a strenuous three hours or so. The second pic shows the small waterfall at

Stuart bought my red sea kayak and today we paddled on an ebbing tide, via the 'new route' to The Basin and looked for the cut-off point of the creek that was closed by sand drift. After finding it , Stuart trekked across some bushland and some front
