Tuesday 26 December 2018 Middle Lagoon

After spending Christmas Day at Ngairin we returned to join the family in a Boxing Day Paddle.
When we arrived just after 11.00am half the contingent were already on the water and 'Liberty', Lib's new form of water transport was about to embark for her maiden voyage.


Tracie and Maddie took to Big Red and were soon singing her praises. With Pippa in the red Necky and Ben in yellow


Here comes the good ship Liberty motoring along on her electric propeller with Snag trying out for the part of Figurehead


Liberty, Captain Maisie and passengers, four legged and two, up close.

Sausage dogs galore


Father and son in the Mad River Canoe


Not forgetting the beloved Saus


Now, I don't know if you can see this diminutive member of the Lapwing family. A Black Fronted Dotterel


Rafting at the entrance


Heading back, round the other side of the island this time



All too soon, our paddle was over; only a little over 3km. The men were keen to get back to see the end of the cricket and the start of the Sydney Hobart - party poopers


Liberty docking, as Snag ignoring all busily continues his excavation



 Joining Snag is the mistake, Midget a dachshund x kelpie. That's her dad, with his head in the hole. He jumped her mum while she was lying down!


Disembarking

The paddle was over by 12.30pm as the blokes loaded the boats in a hurry, anxious to get in front of the TV asap.
