Kayaking day.

First time on Woolgoolga Lake!

Magnificent sunny day, about 20 degrees.
Daryl loaded up his Ute with 3 kayaks ...
Mine, his and Martine’s for Emily.
Lovely public park in a forest of paperbarks.
Small boat ramp into the lake.
People picnicking, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding ...
And we joined them.
Daryl taught me how to get into the kayak ( Straddle it, one foot either side, and simply sit down.)
More importantly, he taught me how to get out of it without falling in the water!
Same process, a foot out either side and stand up.
Easy.
(I have fallen in the water twice already as I got out of the kayak, placing one foot in the water and slowly doing the splits as your other foot still in the boat pushes it further and further away, until you have no choice and simply fall in the water, bottom first.)
Emily and Michael found this absolutely hysterical, both times!
Lousy buggers.

It was so much fun!
And so easy.
And sooooo relaxing.

The water is crystal clear and you can just drift along.
Lacey sits on point on my kayak.
Absolutely love it.

The Lake (creek) is still blocked by huge amounts of sand from flowing into the sea.
So as the water is still coming down the creek, no sandbars at the moment.
Daryl said it will remain like that until the next storm or king tide.
Bit of a shame really.
But an awful amount of sand to dig out a trench....
We’ll enjoy it as it is.

Fish and chips eaten at the Sunken Chip.
Walk along the beach.
Some one wheeling...
A bit windy on the beach so headed home.

Reading on the back lawn in the sun.
Dinner (Daryl made Fish Curry .... delicious)
Bed.

Lovely day.
Getting a bit antsy for the caravan park, lake and beach though.
But practising religiously each day!!!
