Beautiful sunny Middle Harbour
Nothing can contrast paddling Alaska more than a paddle on Sydney Harbour in balmy conditions under an almost Spring sun. To go from icebergs to harbour rocks and aqua waters in a week is crazy!
In today’s paddle I also came across Jonathan & Coco who, through the apparent negligence of a kayak-hirer in Balmoral who left a hull plug off their hire SOT, sank off Chinaman’s Beach and had to recover perched on rocks. If you read this guys, hope you didn’t freeze too much and that the incident didn’t put you off paddling in the future! Drop me a line if you want a decent paddle and I’ll make sure you get looked after.
And lastly, it was good to see my old friend the seal eating fish amongst the moored yachts at Balmoral Beach. Happy fishing friend!
Dear FP:
Many thanks for your kind assistance after we sank off the rocks (and then drained our flooded vessel on the rocks). No worries about an end to kayaking for us in this marvelous harbor. Will be in touch soon. Have you considered a Fat Paddler motto? Something along the lines of: Ever Vigilant, Ever Buoyant (I think the Latin would be: Semper Vigilans, Semper I’M NOT SURE OF THE LATIN FOR THIS)
Thanks again.
JF
Gday Jonathan!
I have a by-line already “Kayaking Australia’s best waterw… Hey! Sausages!”, but I do like the idea of something in Latin! Let me know when you come up with something!! 😉
Cheers – FP
