Think uno max day today, venue Hataitai Beach, course along Cobham Drive for a few circuits just to get my hand back in again in the tricky little 30kmh southerly.
There were a few fishermen to navigate around also some speed boats towing biscuits, all good.
My biggest challenge today was a fishermen brother who took exception to me apparently touching one of his lines?
I stopped to swap conversation and this is what I get back............I'll throw a rock at you and smash you in the head?..................Yeah thanks for that mate..............If his Mum found out I'm sure she'd say "come here son..............I won't fasi you."
Four things:
1.No kayaker or surf ski paddler wants to be tangled up with a fishing line....... if we see one.
2. Mate I've got you, or your mates vehicle registration number.
3. I've got a camera and if you can hit me in the head with a rock my waterproof camera can take a good photo of you.
4.We all watch out for each other and we all share the waterways together.
Anyhow it's all fun and games till someone gets poked in the eye as the say.
Tomorrow night looking forward to the Kupe Twilight Series paddle www.kupe.org.nz a 30 kmh Northerly is expected................fantastic..................what Think surf ski to paddle?............. I'll take both down!
On the horizon.............. "Tour de Harbour" for sup's in February.
This one's a sup paddle around a few bays with about 3 or 4 stops and a half way cafe......... or picnic stop............from this we'll send an article photos and video into Standing Room Only Magazine for their regular "Travel to Paddle" section.
