Despite an apocalyptic weather forecast it was a lovely day for the WBA river trip up the Maribrynong today. After Ozzie's Agility training I got the kayak launched near Footscray Park by 11.30.
There seemed to be lots of floating bits of crap along they way, old bottles, polystyrene foam, plastic. I loaded up the front and rear of the kayak with whatever came within reach. Gave me a good excuse to have a break from paddling too.
It wasvery pleasant gathering of wooden boatey type people, lunch made nicer by the unexpected sunshine.
Heading back down river, I paced along with Graham in his pedal driven canoe. He cycles everywhere and is super fit, so it was a workout to keep up with him. Lucky i was only going a few miles, as I don't think I had much left in the energy bank when I got back to my launch spot.
