Dropped Tom at the skiff club, then drove around to North Harbour and paddled back (its about 2k) - neatly avoiding the hassle of parking in Manly, and getting on the water at the same time.

Back out on the ski when the lads headed out for their race, and enjoyed a bewdiful hour on the water cruising around North Harbour while keeping an eye on the kids at the same time. Watching the kids on a reach with their kite up while catching runs myself, it occurred to me that this was rather more fun than watching softball.

Interesting moment of the day was paddling past a couple of chaps fishing from a tinnie. Paused to see what one of them had hooked as the rod-bend suggested a decent sized catch. Was rather impressed when he pulled up a 3 foot shark. Hmm.

Drove to Ralston, then down in to the valley for Quarry Hill reps. Did the first and 4th with trekking poles for comparison. Feeling much better than earlier in the week.

Ran over to Lindfield via the NOSH track. Pulled the pin as I was feeling crap - think ive got a little stomach bug,
