NSWSKC Sea Instructor Keith Oakford recently graced the institution of the Tuesday Night Sydney Harbour & Beyond paddle with his prescence in his new Valley Aquanaut RM. In typical Keith style, he waited for a night when there was a 25 knot plus southerly blowing a confused 3m+ sea around to join in, & in doing so find out what his new boat was capable of, in some difficult conditions.
The slideshow above shows a small slice of the action, on a night where most of the group were wide eyed. Keith had a hell of good time in his boat, as evidenced by his play in the mess, & is stoked with the Aquanaut. Keith is a Bass Strait veteran, & a very active sea instructor with the NSWSKC.
