It happened last weekend some 300km south of Sydney, in Batemans bay area. 17 people in total. Beautiful area. It was a pity that we all missed Saturday's paddle due to windy conditions. I had been with flu like symptoms since Tuesday but on Thursday I felt better so I decided to go. Then, Saturday night cold weather while chatting and eating outdoors and Sunday’s paddle helped the bugs get stronger and put me out of action for Monday and a good part of the week. At least by cutting short the long weekend and coming back home earlier I avoided the traffic of everyone returning to Sydney.
Sunday’s paddle was good though, I was not feeling 100% but a 15 km slow pace of hugging the coast with no swell, no wind and lots of rock passages made me forget I was sick. A mother and her cub seal posing for the cameras, the scenery and company made the almost 10 hours return driving trip worth the not even 4 hours paddle.
Enjoy the little video.
Very relaxing, nice seal footage, I can never see the seals in my photos. Was this near the Toll Gates?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteThe area is a just south of Jarvis Bay and the Tollgates Is. The next day, while I drove home, the rest of the group paddled to the Tollgates from where we landed on Sunday. About 10km in a straight line.
