South Easter's back...

...with a vengeance. Looks like it's just been waiting out there for the nasty cold north/westerlies we've been having to weaken and it's taking over for the next seven or more days. If it's not too strong on Wednesday it may be the perfect time to do as Paul suggests and paddle lappa-side for a change.

Atlantic/Hout Bay paddle suggestion

What about we do one of our Wednesday Paddles on the Atlantic Side?
What about Hout Bay or Mouilee Point? We could join the Kazkazi Bunch. They start at 17h30.
We did Hout Bay once or twice last year and it was good. We can have supper at the Yacht Club afterwards
What is the consensus?

Australia to New Zealand the hard way

Yesterday two intrepid paddlers set off in a double kayak (well they call it a kayak) to paddle from Australia to New Zealand. Follow their exploits here. Their kayak looks somewhat more, er, boatlike than the normal kayak used by Andrew McAuley who sadly died at sea on the same crossing a mere 95 kilometres short of his landing in New Zealand.

Final Kayak Race, Paddlers Parade, Polo Match.

Resuts at Paddlers web site
The final race of the season is this Sunday, the 14th October, at 9.30am from Long Beach Simon's Town as usual and the weather forecast looks good. The race will begin promptly so come early to register or to watch the fun. After the race we are encouraging everyone who paddles to come along and take part in the Paddlers Parade; watch the Kayak High Rollers; Kayak Polo match; Rescue and Recovery Demonstrations and, of course, the ever popular and free Kayak try-outs. The Whales are waiting for us - including the albino mother and child. Bring a picnic and Margaret will organise the sunshine, so bring your friends and family, paddlers and non-paddlers alike, for a fun morning out.
