"The Coat Hanger".... aka the Sydney Harbour Bridge
I don’t often paddle in the heart of the city of Sydney because of excessive boat, ship and ferry traffic, but every now and then I do just to see our magnificent city from the Harbour. My completely biased view is that Sydney is the most beautiful city in the world, and exploring her waters is always a pleasure.
The Famous Tim Kennings and I met up at Blues Point and set off into the darkness at 6am, enjoying the view of the city lights reflecting off the water before sunrise lightened the sky. For the rest of the morning we explored her shores, stopped for coffee in Chowder Bay, surfed wind chop and ferry wake, paddled & surfed under the Luna Park boardwalk and generally had a blast as the wind and chop built up over the morning.
Needless to say I’ll let the photos tell the story. Cheers – FP

Exploring the Harbour's northern shoreline
The world's most beautiful harbour.... well, I think so!
Even harbour's get swell and waves. Good fun to play in!
The iconic Sydney Opera House. As seen from the water!

Paddling under Luna Park. Timbo surfed through this lane!
Style. Poise. Grace. The Famous Tim Kennings in his North Shore Atlantic!
Bugger Canberra – I’d live in Kirribilli House all year and paddle every morning 🙂
Hi Sean,
The GG will be displeased as you’ve identified her Sydney residence (Admiralty House) as being Kirribilli House (which is actually next door). Don’t expect to be invited to any garden parties while she’s in office. Cheers OS
Crikes Old Salty, what a rookie mistake! Let’s hope Her Excellency is the forgiving kind!!
