A short three hour training paddle this morning with Dugongs, Turtles, Pelicans and thousand opon thousand of Butterflies, something new as a paddling companion. The Butterflies must have had a mass hatching, it was very cool and slightly spooky, I imagine if you were into making omens out of natural phenomenon you could come up with something quite creative. Victoria Point, Coochimudlo island, Macleay Island, Redland bay and back to Victoria Point. A ten knot northerly gave me a great ride heading south and a good workout heading north. The tide was coming in and near its high for much of the time which meant I could slalom through the Mangroves, I love doing that, it is so good to be paddling through Mangroves without having to watch for Crocodiles.
Coochimudlo is a beautiful little island, it is well worth the paddle if you have a kayak of any sort. It is safe and has Mangrove, Rock and Sandy beaches for you to explore. If you don’t have a kayak it cost $6 per person on the day ferry from Victoria Point to get there.
More paddling to come. DT
