We paddled out of the GBYC this morning at 6 AM in lake-like conditions – flat seas and not a hint of wind. Incredible paddling. The visibility underwater was spectacular – at one point we drifted with the current above an offshore reef for about 15 minutes… everyone riveted watching the bottom of the ocean go by.
2:40 into Peppi Beach for a cold water shower and a magnificent bbq breakfast of Peppi Beach Bacon and Eggers.
The second crew was back on the yacht club beach 2:45 after launching having spotted dolphins and an ominous black shark fin (Marnie says they paddled significantly faster after the Bruce encounter!) on the way home.

Past the Jetty and almost home… |
A well earned post-paddle soak… |
