Friday 21 September 2018 Cuttagee Lake

A quick nearly, impromptu paddle, instigated yesterday by V&S who then pulled out as the midnight hour loomed.  So it was only G&R and L&I who met for the paddle this morning.

We set off about 9.00am


And first on the agenda was a paddle lesson for R&me. The bow draw stroke


We took about 20 minutes to cross Little Cuttagee as R&I wove our way across the lake practicing the stroke. Then down the straight we went


Disturbing a large flock of swans as we went




A few minutes later we caused them to take flight again


As so often happens while we stopped for morning tea the breeze sprang up and our return paddle down Cuttagee was into the wind. With those new fins, there is no stopping G and he led us all the way back down the lake.
Coming back up the straight we disturbed yet more swans


Nearing the end of the straight


Once back in Little Cuttagee we had a leisurely paddle home on sheltered waters.
Lined up and waiting to use the disembarking gateway.


Our quick paddle was over by 11.05 and paddled 5.3kms.
