After some limbering up
The CKC settled down to the real business of the day - natter and chatter whilst waiting for L and me to launch.
Oops, to much natter and chatter - our leader has left!
Glassy water
An odd type of craft to find in shallow water at the top of a lake
After passing the strange boat we tried Billa Bilba creek to the right but with 100 metres or so our way was blocked. Next we tried Burrimbigee Creek to the left and ventured a little way up it until the lead paddlers were stumped.
The lead paddlers returning to meet up with the stragglers
We retraced our steps and continued on down the inlet. Lots and lots of Oyster beds all over the upper part of the inlet.
The forecast breeze still hadn't arrived and the water was glassy. Gulaga, her top shrouded in cloud, off to our right.
Remnant rainforest
And beautiful water, what more could you ask for?
Pulling in for a 'nature' break at 10.20
After a half hour break we took to the water again to complete our journey and found a slight and welcome breeze had sprung up.
We were soon traversing the open part of the lake.
Sea grass near the shore
Our destination comes into sight
Rounding the last point
I found the slappers wanting a memorial photo taken.
Is this end, my friends?
L enjoying the sea grass
Paddle over, we pulled in beside the Quarterdeck jetty at 12.50pm
And while G, L & S went to retrieve the two vehicles left at the picnic area,
V, R and I retrieved all the boats and got them ready for loading.
