With a forecast of 25 knots out of the east - an unusual wind direction for Sydney - and seas forecast to rise over 2m on the back of the rising wind, I decided I should shut down the PC for the afternoon & head out on Rob's Tuesday Night Paddle. Baby number 3 is also about 3 weeks away so I reckon it will be a last hit out for me for a while! As always there was a mixed group of paddlers, with all levels covered from Sea Instructor to Tuesday night debutant.

Unfortunately the predicted winds & sea state didn't come up as forecast, but it was still better than sitting in the office.....
