The calm before the storm




What a great weekend on the Coast... unless you're following the Wallabies. Friday night's NRL game set the scene for a tumultuous weekend of sport & recreation. My ritual Saturday morning hit out with the team was interrupted ths week as I was up early (3am) to talk with Conor about Sky Squadron's last conquest on stage at the Northern Star in Newcastle.

Training on Saturday consisted of a 6k paddle over and back to lobster beach with Zac Wilkins and James White about 2pm. Coming back in we found Dark Mavis out having a swim so we headed down to Umina and back for some water safety as he knocked out some distance in the surf.



This weekend was all about Sunday and getting a good paddle up the Hawkesbury River from Ocean Beach. Mark and I took the Dolphins out for an 18.4k paddle in 2hrs 20min with brief stops at Flint & Steel Beach and turning around at Fisherman's Beach. We arrived back at Patonga Beach Hotel for lunch with the Handlers Mary & Jane, Aidan & Emily. Also had Mary's Cousin's son Jonathon over from Northern Ireland
