Just wondering if anyone is keen to do a Moomba night paddle tonight or over the next couple nights?

Tonight would be the best but if not maybe Thursday night? PFD's required.

I'd be in, but I don't have a PFD.

How about we just practice paddle, on an exercise machine, with a video of Laird Hamilton on the wall and our favorite Kenny G Album playing at full bore.

Is Sup Vic planning anything interesting this year? that surf trip in Venus Bay last year was fridken grouse.

What time are you planning to launch tonight? Also, won't they have the river blocked off for the fireworks?

Edit: According to Parks Victoria website...

Whatever you are planning it sounds highly illegal.

Yes indeed and with with Parks Victoria and Marine Safety Victoria patrolling the area, I think we keep our powder dry tonight.

Maybe worth a re-think but if we went above and beyond what would be acceptable
safety gear it could only been seen as a good thing? Legrope, PFD, flares, compass,
support boat! I just had the bilge pump fitted so I can cross that off the list.
