It must be that time of the year. I finally decided to let go my first kayak, Cobra Tandem SIT. it is near new condition (have not used it for a year. Always kept under and well. Comes complete with two paddles, two back rests and a Junior PFD2 for $799. Let me know if you are interested.
Selim,
I have been wondering how best to get the kids interested. I had been considering something similar, but not sure whether to just buy another single. Would you consider a test paddle with a couple of my kids if not overwhelmed with bids in the next few weekends. ALSO ... Are you interested in a paddle tomorrow???

Campbell, No problems, you can have a test drive. It is great fun boat for kids.You are close to me here so if you want to pick up and have a run, no problems. i was thinking to drop into water from Gosford Sailing club tomorrow and stay in Brisbane waters as the wind will pick up according to forecast. I was thinking to get a start at 8:30am.
Let me know.
Campbell, we did 26..7 Km, took 4hrs and 40Min and our average speed came to 6Km an hour,
(or I sould say my average speed, you were faster than me) Our highest speed reached to 12kms an hour.at one stage. And yes that was under the Rip bridge :)
Here is the Google Earth link:
Gents,
With that sort of distance, coupled with that top speed on just a "social" paddle, we'll have to consider "press ganging" you into both the Myall and Hawkesbury Classics, (see Events page). It certainly was a great day for a longish paddle; Annie and I were confined to shore as we had a house full of visitors, up for the day. The closest we got to the water was looking out over the Lake from our deck.
I did it many years ago and would love to do the Hawkesbury again (I was fitter then). I do need a little more commitment to get the extra training kms in as well as being 'allowed' by my family to prioritise my time accordingly.
