I’ve put up a few posts waxing lyrical about my Wednesday Night Paddles, and so I thought this week I’d take my Go Pro along, set it to take a photo every 30 seconds and see what comes out .
It took nearly 300 photos, but here’s a slightly briefer summary if you want to scroll down and see a Wednesday night paddle in 3 minutes or less …
| Everyone getting ready … |
| Some less ready than others … |
| Ah yes, the waiting around for 6pm |
| Obviously a new person … we don’t stretch and warm up … crazy stuff. |
| Finally we notice that the water is actually 50 metres from where we’ve all put our boats |
| Two boats are quicker than one .. |
| Now we’re ready to go |
| Though some are still chatting and getting ready … |
| We’re off … |
| Oh, I’m in my ski because my knee injury has flared up |
| Now we’re off |
| And I’m quickly in the rear of the pack. |
| Slipping further behind … |
| Some late starters going by … |
| More late starters … |
| Then it’s just me and Janet enjoying the evening … (This week as a “Come and Try It” week) |
| Oh yea, to think I could be home in front of TV right now .. |
| Cartwright Point where the “intro” paddlers turn around. |
| Turning Point |
| … and heading home |
| Meeting another late starter on his way out … |
| I have no idea what I was doing here, but I seem to be missing a paddle. |
| Evening colours |
| No one’s in a rush to get home … |
| Little bit of chop as we get past Sandy Bay Point |
| Couldn’t resist a short downwind dash. Janet’s waiting for me. |
| Almost home. |
| The front paddlers catching us on the way back after they went to Crayfish Point |
| Back on land … and the tides in! |
| One last carry … |
| Another great night’s paddling … now for pizza. |
