It's that time again, when dogs howl at the moon, and crazies go paddling in the dark.
Who's up for it? Wednesday or Thursday looks ok. Usual spot at the boatsheds.

I just noticed tonight it's almost a full moon..and it's pretty warm..(for winter)

Today was fantastico.....and...I almost wet myself..and not from falling in..

We paddled over to a bunch of footballers (Hawthorn club) that were standing in about waist to chest high water..They all were looking at us and one said..Watch out..Shark!!...I said yeah sure..he he...Then all of a sudden the water exploded beside me as one of them (that I had not noticed) had swum underwater about 30mtrs to me and burst out of the water inches from my board and did the big....AAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!....

I almost fell in and almost pissed myself....They all laughed...Jeez I'm glad I didn't fall in.....It was pretty funny..

Monday/Tuesday next week is fine for me. Maybe we could do the Williamstown night paddle if the wind's right. Would just mean I get there 1/2 an hour later. 8:00pm

OK. I just checked the graphs - there'll still be moonlight next week, so I'm happy to wait until Mon or Tue. The wind will have to be spot on for Williamstown. The Yarra is more protected, but we'll see closer to the day.
Nic, I hope this is ok for you too.
Maybe we'll catch up for a weekend paddle before then, too.
