Often the idea of paddling off to a distant overnight beach campsite is what allures us to the lifestyle of Sea Kayaking.That image of the tents on the beach, the campfire,great company and the reflection of the moon on the sea is certainly high on the priority of all of the JBK Team.
Couple this with a group of 5 very competent Women and you the have the recipe for some good laughs and the enjoyment that can only be had when you get away from it all.
In late September Tracy lead four ultra keen paddlers to the upper reaches of Jervis Bay for a weekend of laughs, challenges and maybe some Bundy and Coke, and set up camp in a beautiful little campsite overlooking the bay.
JBK'S first WIKS( Women in Kayaking ) in the Sticks weekend had all of the elements of any great expedition. The Weather played it's part promising some strong winds and certainly delivered some,so it was decided that early starts were the go as the return home saw them testing their skills in some sea conditions designed to test their new found skills and equipment. Clear skies prevailed and the weekend was a success with only wet bums and an appetite for more, as we plan to hold more of these weekends, where the freedom of the kayak is the key to accessing some brilliant locations in our area.
A big thanks to Shannon,Karen, Rachel, and Kerri for making our first WIKS in the Sticks a HUGE success and we look forward to seeing you all on later activities.
JBK Team.
