The weather might be good for a paddle on Tuesday night. Let's see how many people we can get along this time. We meet at the rowing sheds near Prince's Bridge (the one near the Arts centre) at 7 to 7.30.

Any takers?

Great DJ. That's three of us so far. I'm aiming for a world record number of SUP paddlers on the Yarra at night. I'm thinking 6 will be the new world record. We should smash that this summer!

So whats the go with the Yarra night paddle do you wear miners hats with lights attached or is it well lit I've never seen the Yarra I know Its a river in or near Melb Is there much to look at, a senic experience, a workout! so does it depend on the tide or flow direction or is it a downwind journey. or is it an excuse for a get together and a few Rums after. What the !! (so many questions Grasshopper)

You missed a good one..We do them often..about every second week so join us on the next one.

Last night I was taking my board off the roof of my car at 7pm and putting it back on at 11pm..It was a biggie....Most nights it's 7.30-9.30pm.

I took some pics but they turned out pretty crappy in the low light....We had glass, glass, glass.. ..Not a breath of wind..and a quite mild temp.

We put the boards next to the waters edge and noticed a black swan sitting on a nest nearby.







Our first stop was the Casino..to watch the fire show..and toast a few marshmellows.





Next was under the Bolty bridge..Looking up at the towers makes you almost fall in.





This sign should have said Warning keep clear of **ting...it was covered in bird **.



I furtherest stop at the far end of the docklands.



One last stop and almost back to where we started.
