Kayaking
Catching a good high tide we paddled into the National Park at the 'Basin'- a large flooded valley which ends in a creek and waterfall. Very peaceful. We followed that with lunch at the Maianbar café before the paddle home. Weather absolutely ideal. I found one or two

Being a very pleasant day, we packed up a couple of rolls plus drinks and paddled over to the RNP side of the river and back. Lots of oyster shells . The touring boat 'Tom Thumb' passed us with a few passengers on board.

A pleasant day with light cloud-we paddled to Maianbar for lunch, where Michael used another phone app to disguise me as an Easter Bunny--no respect! We sailed back under a light wind.

During this break from regular updates we have kayaked, swam and enjoyed meals with family and friends. The weather has been really humid and sometimes thunderstorms, with strange cloud formations. I include some pics of our local rockpool, very busy. Yesterday friend Matt and I paddled to Bundeena and on

On a near perfect day, we set out from Wally's Wharf to Warnambool, where sits the 'cormorant drying ' tree, then return, followed by lunch on our re-vamped patio.

Our friend Florence, from the Ardeche, joined us for a short trip from Grays Point to Audley. Although it was a lovely day, there were no motorised craft and the river was very peaceful.

Today we collected the new Prijon Piave and within a couple of hours began a test paddle. Mary pronounced the result as excellent, so that was a relief! It is certainly the lowest weight kayak we have ever had and was stable and very comfortable, with convenient hatches and easy

Yesterday I ordered a new double, lightweight kayak--a Prijon Piave, which should arrive in a week or so. In the meantime, Mary and I used the ACE river double and paddled, in excellent weather, from Water Street ramp, down Burraneer Bay, up to Warnambool, for a snack with a

On a beautiful day we set off near high tide from Water Street for the RNP then a coffee break at Maianbar, where Holly chose a Gingerbread man! Wind in wrong direction for sailing, today

The weather continuing well, Matt joined me for a paddle, early this Thursday morning. There was just the right wind to sail all the way back. Very satisfying!

With warmer weather, just enough tide and little wind, it was time to check out the kayak gear. Following a breakfast of porridge, coddled egg and bacon, I set off to see if the Maianbar cafe was still in existence--it is! The owner, Nick, asked me where my '
