JBK - Team Annual Staff Expedition





Each winter the Team at JBK Set aside some time to take on an adventurous challenge to push the limits of our paddling skills and trip planning. Last year we circumnavigated the Beecroft Peninsula. A 35km paddle that takes in the massive cliffs from Pt Perpendicular to Currarong and half of the coastline of Jervis Bay.
This year the scene was set to round the Berwherre Peninsula on the southern side of the bay.

This Sea Kayaking Trip is approx 28km in length and passes some of the tallest cliffs on Mainland Australia and is home to the resident Seal Colony and Little Penguins of Bowen Island. Little did we expect ( absolutely )to see some Humpbacks along the way and we were treated with no less than 16 migrating whales, sometimes too close for comfort. What a cracker this trip was.

I have done some amazing paddles in my life but this one is one of the most memorable ever.Thanks to Janet, Bonnie, Tracy and Matthew for a great day.
