Bretto is no stranger to a solo adventure – but it’s always more fun to get out there with some like minded mates for a bit of fun. We hit the water at 0630 this morning and decided to launch from the Mushroom Reef Marine Sanctuary (access via Flinders Golf Course).
Conditions were great with a 5-10 knot wind and gentle swell rolling in from the SW. After we had negotiated our way through a gap in the reef and the breaking waves – we headed west towards Cape Schanck.
The mild conditions provided a great opportunity to practice some deep water re-entries and self rescues.
- Coop Dogg’s Pittarak is mighty ugly and rolls like a greasy refrigerator – but for $100 it was the sea kayak bargain of the year.
There was a few cases of mild seasickness in the group (Bretto included) so after a few hours cruising around we weaved our way back through the reef and landed safely at the beach.
