- About Me:
- I am consumed by kayaking. I love the boats, the stuff, the fear, the adrenaline and the drudgery. I love the company and chatter, a hot cup of tea and a shared bit of bun. I love to paddle in the rain and cold spray in the face. I love the clarity of thought, the emptiness of mind and the toll on the body. I love how paddling is zen. Dhamma.

Klan Social
Now that most of us have paddled with most of us and we are all comparatively new to each other, I think it's high time we organized a social event so we can tell tall stories and eat and drink some stuff. It would also be good to have that sort of dialogue where we can thrash out trips, issues and events. I have no suggestions so far and no idea of time so I await your opinions and suggestions. I also understand the impossibility of getting everyone together at the one time so we might… Continue

Rock n Roll Over
I got a trip in with Gibbo and Selim but though I spent plenty of time with John, we didn't paddle together. For me, having you clansmen there made a big difference compared to RnR 2008 where I was very much alone except for some casual acquaintances.
When n… Continue

Next Training
Since the last Rob Mercer training was so well received and everyone is keen to follow on from this, I have managed to coax Rob's partner Mark Sundin into contributing next time. He has agreed to bring a trailer with 11 boats on it for us to test. This will be a good opportunity to test drive some elite boat brands and gain valuable experience. I expect the klan to be preparing to advance sea skills so let's make this a short term goal. We will get Rob and Mark up for sea skills trainin… Continue

Ned Stephenson said… - G'day Brad,
thanks for the welcome. I had a look around the site and figured that it sounded like a top group of people! Even though I'm in Singleton, I visit my parents at Wyong every so often, so a trip to the Lake is no big deal. Newcastle and Nelson Bay aren't far away either. Look forward to meeting you on the water.

Brad, not sure when I will take a roadtrip and come south for a paddle with you.
I hear the weather is still a bit "cold"? :-)
About the Impex: I paddle that brand as much as I paddle others; I am slave to no brand :-)
One rule: no rudders for me.
My favorite ride at the moment is my Chinese made tippy kayak, I named it "Mockpool" coz I stuck a bunch of starfish decals over the deck and a big Chinese flag on the hull.
It's nothing like the Assateague.

- Hi Brad,
Only three more sleeps to go until I get my lustful, feverish hands on Clementine, the orange Nordkapp.......
PS, thanks for pointing Mark my way, it's much appreciated.

- Thanks Brad Its good to find a site for local sea kayakers. My wife and I paddle mostly in Port Stephens ,so if there is any interest in day trips here maybe we could do a group paddle either on a week end or possibly thru the week(rosters permitting).
