Sounds good. Weather looks good. Moon looks good. I'll see if I can drag my daughter along.

Jethro, we're paddling on the Yarra. The steady flow of urine into the river keeps it warm.

Now that's funny.. ..I wondered why it was so warm when I fell in last time.. ..

Speaking of yellow...Cadel's now in yellow (by one second)..

Today was another classic glassy day..and tonight is looking perfect..

It feels like spring..and the wind speed tonght is zero..

See you guys there..It's a shame JB is not here to join in the madness..

I have a few pictures for those interested...Hey Scotty..There's no waves so hit the back tag now..

Our meeting spot was the rowers boat houses on the Yarra just near St Kilda road in the city.



Here's a pic of what's inside..I hope we never see super long SUP's like this.



John is aways on time and ready to hit the water with his Kalama.



I wasn't far behind him itching to get going..Besides it was getting cold standing around.



We stopped at the Casino and watched it light up its farts..like it does every hour..Oliver had his Uli board.



We paddled up to and under the Bolty bridge..This is looking up one of the two towers..and see the full moon that we had to light our way.



I found a good pozzie to have a seat..



Once we got back and started to pack up I heard this loud farting sound and I was just about to say..Jeeez Oliver..Do you have to..and then realized it was his board.

It didn't smell..

My photos didn't turn out that good so I've uploaded a google map of our paddle. We began at the parklands on the right of the picture. It was another great night paddle.
