“Spring has sprung.
The grass is riz.
I wonder where the sunshine iz.”
Well it’s sure not anywhere near here.
Last night at my place, the winds stayed at 30 knots and dropped a little at dawn. It was definitely not a day to try out the new double sea kayak but I was getting desperate for a soak in salt water. Four desperate souls met in the lee of the Pt Noarlunga reef with the hope of getting in a little playboating fun.
So for those who stayed in bed, nice and warm, here’s some photos to prove our insanity.
We got ready to launch as the rain started….. we were wet anyway
Remind me again how this is going to be fun
