In light of today's somewhat disappointing weather conditions forcing cancellation of the Cerberus event, I wonder if anyone else is like me - in need of a decent paddling fix to look forward to. Maybe a sunrise start in the Elwood/StKilda vicinity? Or perhaps a sunset along the Yarra?

D'oh! That's the only clash I have all week. Someone coming to collect a chair that I just ebay'd. If that time works for everyone else, I can possibly reschedule and get there for 7pm.

I'm in Melbourne 19th - 23rd March (Collins St) and would love to paddle the Yarra - any takers for a paddle over those dates ?....I know it's 5 weeks away but it'll be here before we know it.

Also planning on a morning trip down to OG / Torquay over that period which'll be fun if Huey is kind.

I'm sure something can be arranged. That's the week before the grand prix so traffic around StKilda is impossible, may as well stick to the river that week.

Just to keep things on track Tuesday/Wednesday conditions looks good - our spiritual leader doesn't need to be part of every paddle.

Who's up for it? 7:30pm is good for me.

I'll be out paddling somewhere at least 3 mornings this week so I'd be up for the Yarra morning too. But I would like to see the city light up from the water so an evening is something I'm really looking forward to.

Yarra night paddle a grand adventure.

Paul, Oliver and I headed off from the rowing clubs at 7.30 and headed for the Docklands, finally returning at 10.15.
We stopped off at the Docklands for an ice cream and on the paddle back we even got some applause from some onlookers at Southbank.

Can't wait for the next one.

Alan.
