the calm of Pilot Bay, the washing machine of the 'Harbour entrance', the surf run down the coast then a hard beat up the coast and back through the washing machine and a sprint to the finish, along the way the paddlers passed penguins, sea lions, had kahawai jumping beside the waka and there were even reports of a whale being sighted.

As usual there was plenty of hot soup and BBQ sausages for all.

See you soon for the last race of the season when once again we offer some the best and most varied paddling conditions anywhere.
