If anyone is still in the metro area, and hasn't lost all faith in the local weather forecast ( after yesterdays' (Friday) "Strong wind warning"), then post your interest and we'll get a DW going for Sunday 1st, starting at Port ( South end of carpark) and finish at Swannie SLC. Aim to be in the water at 1600. Happy New Year !!
Hi Lach
Ended up doing a 20km time trial with kevin Saturday morning after our downwinder Friday, so I'd better stick around home. Hope the forecast for next Sunday is good!
Hey Adam, that was a really difficult slog you guys did to trigg in those conditions. hard to find the fun when it's side on slop and no wind!
Hi akhawk, I think some usually meet at swannie and leave a car then go to port but not sure as I have only done 2 and both times been dropped there and paddle home.
We did the 20km on the river, a beautiful glassy morning. Ended up taking 2:48 for me and Kevin was at least 10mins faster - pretty impressive given he had done 20kms on the ocean the day before. When I say time trial, it was more paddling to a set distance at 60% steady state, than full on. Good to get the distance out and find a suitable rhythm....lovely morning.
I'll be at Swannie at 1530 to take a load to Port ( can fit me and 3 others). Let me know who needs a lift. Hey Goochi, you guys are nucking futts !! Doing the 20k the morning after that Friday slog - that is seriously hard core !! My right side still hasn't recovered, and I only went to City !
