Great afternoon in testing wind conditions. 15knot northerlies with gust over 20 made for a great paddle down but a less exciting trip back. Wind had about a 4 to 5 minute effect on times.
Jonsey and Alison took their dogs Huggles and Molly with them for the time trial. Having seen that I now think all the top ten should paddle with a dog to give the rest of us a go.
Ian from Starboard came to give it a whirl though with his hand gashed with six stitches across the palm from a accident a few days earlier he was at a disadvantage. Michelle England also came and belted us with a great paddle. Would be good to see what time she would do in better conditions.
We wrapped up with the first BBQ for the season and big thanks to Geoff for the beers and PT for the salad. Also stoke Ryan had the flu and could make it as we polished off his thank present for lending Alison a board in the 17km race recently. Don't worry mate... they were great and I am finishing one off know as I put the results up.
Times listed below with distances paddled beside them.
