G'day Bill, Mate I've been struck down with a bit of a dreaded lurgi, plus the weather doesn't look too flash, so I'll pass up on your invite this time. Incidentally, high tide is just on midday tomorrow - a biggie.

Anyone interested don't know where yet. High tide about 1130 newcastle. A paddle up the harbour might be on if interested.

That's fabulous Bill, we're starting to get a wide variety of different boats in the Klan and variety is the spice of life. I missed paddling the Rockpool GT down at Umina, but it was very well received and from what I can gather they're a simila...

I've seen a similar technique where you start on the waters edge rolling and slowly work your way down to deeper and deeper water until you can invert completely

How so many differences can be manufactured into craft which are basically of similar dimensions is amazing. The cetus primary stability is exceptional and although we have experimented edging the kayaks and can now look very cool turning with the...

Sounds idyllic Bill, and how did your beautiful new boats go ?

Thanks Bill. Got a short paddle in with Owen and Anne. Or should I say, got a long morning tea in! My big weekend was scotched by bloody stocktake at work otherwise I would have organized a klan outing up your way. I'm looking forward to getting s...

First up my apologies to Brad. We were going for a paddle this morning but were a little too dis-organised to make the offer to join us. You would have had a ball. This is just a short paddle across the bay from Winda Woppa to Little piggy beach....

Would 11 o'clock at Little Beach boat ramp suit everyone? My mobile number 0425364251

I may be a little behind that time so go at your time and maybe we can catch up on the water. Maybe call past Little beach on your way out and see but don't wait for me or us (wife) and hopefully we can catch up and meet and say hello.

suits me fine but I am flexible if another time suits Bruce

Would 10 30ish at Dutchies be a good time to start to catch the runout tide????? (Grahame)Would this be doable for you Bruce?? Hope it can work or we can make a different plan. Newcastle High Thu 06:08 EDT (1.3m) Low Thu 11:59 EDT (0.6m) High Thu...

Hello Bill, I am going to Port Stephens for 4 days and will arrive at Litttle Beach Caravan Park in the morning. If it is a late start on your behalf we may be able to catch up somewhere and paddle from Little beach across and back and meet up. Ju...

What time, Bill.
October 28
I'd love to join you Bill, but I'm in Fremantle this week. Not that Freo's a bad spot, but Port Stephens is a bit special. One of my favourite places. Since I can't be there, I'll just have to knock back a Little Creatures Pale Ale or two instead....

Hi Bill, Thanks for making contact. I have recently purchased a Mirage 580. The boat is better than the paddler. Working on it though. Live on Dora Creek so have been paddling most night. The wind was a killer on the weekend. Cheers Bruce

Thanks for the good wishes Bill and Carolyn. Baby is due in February and will be introduced to kayak life shortly after that I am sure.

Yes, your definitely to blame. I'm going to blame you for the return trip that might happen as well.

I am sure some of us would love to do some of these trips and now that we are building our numbers we are exploring further afield all the time. Just make a date when you might be able to come up and see who else puts up their hand. I am off to Jervis Bay tomorrow for some paddling down there for a week.

Talk to all when I get back

Cheers

Bill

No family there any longer. My uncle lived in the family home in Nelson Bay for years and unfortunately for us re married just before he died. His new wife is now also dead and her family now have our house. I'm not bitter really!!!!!!!!!!!! I joined the Hunter clan to see if I can get on some trips up around there. Would love to explore around Big Rocky and get out around the islands. Been out there a couple of times before and love it

I haven't picked it up yet. Maybe next week depending on roster. I paddled it out into Broken Bay and still love it. Handles like a dream, especially on edge. The thing is, I have just developed a renewed respect for my Eco Bezhig. It is sooo good in a following sea I think I'll hang on to it as well.

Yes we have seen it thanks Bill. We only discovered it a couple of days ago and Leonie has printed it out for further study Graeme

Yes it is a guided trip, camping each night, with Clearwater Paddling which is based on Barra but offers several trips around the area.
We are hoping to see a good lot of wildlife and sunny weather but apparently the weather can change by the hour.
What did you wear paddling and did it work Ok( I think you said sharkskins but I dont remember)?
We are hoping to do a couple of day trips and a day training with a greenland paddle as well,but we havn't finalised details yet.

Hello Bill Yes That was us. Talking aabout scotland was a bad idea as we are now going on a six day trip around Jura at the end of June. Its only money as Leonie says :)
