Kayaking
Finally a calm day (if somewhat cold!) so went over to Bundeena to get a coffee and reintroduce myself to my physio there. I stood at the door as I had wet feet and sand from the beach at Bundeena. It was nice to get over there again -and back

A beautiful cool day for a trip launching at a scout hall ramp in Lilli Pilli. We noticed that they have totally resurfaced a long section of the road into Lilli Pilli and we could only conclude that it was because it is the residential suburb of our PM--they

Stuart used a kayak he found on a clear-up and managed well considering he was without a rudder. We went to the Basin again as it was ( a lowish, 1.38m ) HT at 9.00am. Weather was perfect and very little wind. We got to the end of the

With Chris once again, a 7.30am start for the tide--it was so serene and there were stunning water reflections of the bush. We reached the end of the creek in spite of fallen tree obstacles and the silence was deafening! The café was open at mainibar for a

To get out of the house and forget the lock-down for a bit, we went to a picnic spot on the National Park side of the river to est a couple of muesli bars! It was very oystery but we found a place to exit the kayak on sand.

At least you can keep separation on the water--no-one else is out there, although I did meet a fellow Prion kayaker, Tony and we chatted (at the specified distance) over a takeaway coffee, at the water's edge.The nearby café had strict spacing and no entry

A trip today with a scout leader colleague, Chris, from 20 years ago, when our sons were both members of the scout troop.. Chris is an engineer who worked for a well known Australian family confectionary company in Rockdale and Chris oversaw the installation of the largest liquorice manufacturing plant
Kayaking
On a 'just enough' high tide we reached the very end of the basin near the waterfall. It was quite eerie being in such a remote spot deep in the national park.

Under cloud but pleasantly cool we tripped to Warnambul where I managed to get a leg stuck in soft mud while exiting the kayak, fell over and had to be rescued by Dave! Thanks Dave. No pics thank goodness. (One pic taken with water on the lens after dunking!

Stuart and Alison were curious to try proper sea kayaks, so we went over to Mainabar on the park coast.
Kayaking
Down at Cronulla kayak centre at dusk, I presented two new Cub leaders with their appointment certificates, made up a poem about water safety and footwear, from a real incident and supervised a water training excercise. Great fun! Some of the cubs could only kayak in a circle, which was

A warm but cloudy day and we managed to get to the other end of 'The Basin' in the RNP, from Water Street ramp. No evidence of fire or flood damage in the park areas but certainly evidence of wind damage--fallen and broken trees. I think we
