Whilst our original intention was to give Jonathon a send off paddle to the Beacon, weather and timing conspired against us.

Figuring it would be advantageous with this continuing balmy weather to complete a Fawkner Beacon return, we're going tomorrow.

Meeting time and location : Green Point, Brighton at 6.30am for a 6.45am start.

DJ expects a 2 - 2 1/2 hr round trip.

Forecast

Forecast for Thursday
Winds: North to northeasterly 10 to 15 knots tending north to northwesterly
during the morning. Seas: 0.5 to 1 metres.


Come prepared

Bummer!

Rest up, hope you return to the water sooner rather than later.

Hey Warwick,
After chatting with you at the shop today I checked my diary. I had a feeling that I had something on....I'm meeting with the new CEO at 9:30! So I somehow think that turning up late and saying I had better things to do might not go down so well.

Have a good paddle.

Yeah, maybe I should suggest we move the meeting to the DJ No. 3 Yellow conferencing centre - he's coming down from Canberra so I can tell him it's centrally located.

I'm going to take my dog for a paddle at 6.30am at Half Moon if anyone wants to join us.

Alan.

Hey DJ,
good thing we pulled the pin. I was on the road as normal at 5.30 this morning and yes, it was glass, but the northerly was just noticeable.

By 8am [ around what would've been midway paddle], it was gusting 17 knots!

Imagine trying to paddle 7 kms back into that?

Good call. Now just got to get these muscle tears to miracle cure by this time nnext week.

Charlie and the pelicans enjoyed a splendid sunrise at Half Moon this morning.

I quite enjoyed it myself.
