1st day Club Paddle of 2021!!! Whoop!!
We entered the water at Lachlan Bay (nr Lachlan Castle). There was a slip way to launch from & then we moved our cars over to the carpark near the river. Theme of this trip was Island Hopping (Sgeir an Eirionnaich, An Oitir, Eliean Fraoch & Eliean Aoghainn) to Union Bay, just beyond Minard Castle. For the return we island hopped, stopping to look at Comb Jellies. We came in on high tide, travelled a short distance up river to the car park. We then went to explored Lachlan Castle!!
Conditions were calm F1-2. Sun & a few shower – light breeze. Total Distance approx 15.2km
Paddlers: Gordon, Ruth, Colin, Serena & Vonna.
