The Club trip on 27 June ended up being a solo affair. The paddle was from Werribee South to Portarlinton and return via Wedge Point. The first leg was 15.3 kms on a bearing of 180M via the channel entry marker (huge and yellow!). Winds were gusting to 20 kts SW - W initially (seas to .75m) but settled to ~12 kts by arrival time. Crossing took 2.5 hrs in nice bouncy conditions. It was bloody freezing by virtue of some spray getting into my cag making getting into a spare dry thermal top imper...more

Trip report of King Island crossing from Marengo Victoria across to King Island down the west coast and on to Tasmania.

Christmas and New Year holidays in 2009 were taken up with a delightful trip to NZ. Being a kayaking husband, almost non-kayaking wife trip, a pleasant and social kayaking experience was planned. We had a wow of a time, but barely scratched the surface of what NZ has to offer sea kayakers.

 This report is a brief account of Terry Barry's 620km solo trip south of Sydney around to Cape Conran. Terry faced all conditions but had a great time. He undertook the trip in the Australian Way using a road atlas and mobile phone and sampled the many hamburger shops along our coast. The trip took 19 days over the 2006/07 summer holiday. A great read.

Arriving at Mallacoota on Boxing Day, we set up camp in the caravan park and made a final weather check at the internet cafe. With a strong SW change forecast for our second day we reconsidered our starting point, so as to (hopefully) ensure passage around Green Cape before the change came in. We decided to start at Bitangabee - if we started from Eden as originally planned there was the possibility of have to spend an extra day in a NP campsite (booked out no doubt) with no permit for that d...more

An account of the first Cape Contour Trip covering the rolling ambitions in the balmy July waters off Cape Schanck. A great read, especially for those who have completed a few rolls off Victoria's 20 plus capes.
