Hmm, supposed to have Rugby training but if you get a crew I'll come along.

e coli or jellyfish? I'm in.

Gday DJ
How do you go with the water police over there with your night paddles, as you dont seem to have any lights. We would cop a fine quick smart if we tried that on the Swan at night.

Your lucks obviously better than mine
Then again at least I only got a warning.

Hi Guys,

Under the letter of the law on the Yarra at night you require a port and starboard light and a stern light.

You should be able to get the suction cup versions that they use on small fiberglass vessels.

DJ I would love to hook up with you guys on a night paddle and take some pics for you. Im a bit of an amateur shutter bug

Don't require navigation lights. Same as the rowers, legally we are required to have a white bow light, and a flashing white stern light. Two head torches covers this - one on your head for the front, and one around your waist, attached to a belt or a bumbag, pointing to the rear, flashing.
The reality is that soon after 7.30, all the rowers have finished, there is no river traffic, and plenty of light around from the city lights. Wearing bright cycling tops is a good idea.

Under 7 meters in length you only need lights when your are in danger of collision.

JD ... Its from the Victorian Rules Book. I agree abit strange, but i think its
deasigned if your gunna get run over you should shine a light to let other
vessel know your there so they can take evasive action. BTW I have enough trouble
balancing in the day let alone at night so i would like to come but better get
some practice with a blindfold first
