Paul came over for a paddle - surprised me as I thought he was coming at 10 and was there at 930 - he thought he was running late ha!
Quickly sorted myself post gym and got car loaded and headed to shelley bridge.
Conditions were ideal - was so nice paddling in this section of rover - was all protected and felt like there was not even in Perth. was really very nice - thought it would be nice for kayak orienteering/rogaining too. I needed to wait a bit at kent st weir to get blood into legs and then we pushed on up stream a bit further.
Gave Paul a small race before the turnaround point but he kicked my ass hard - no massive surprise there.
Came back to kent st - almost took a dip because I underestimated my legs when i got out. nose handle broke - annoying but we managed. Nice cruise downstream - felt it went a lot quicker but apparently it was exactly the same. surprising!
Shelley bridge ramp is like a gross swamp of sludge - will remember this for next time. Loaded up and home bound.
Was a nice cruisey paddle with Paul - followed by a BBQ where I managed to fuck up two of the elements and one fo those was the steaks / #bugga.
