JBK Paddlers Club spent an amazing day yesterday ou towards Point Perpendicular and the Docks of Jervis Bay. Leaving from Honeymoon Bay in the morning, we spent a lazy hour or so cruising down to Dart & Longnose Points sighting a Green Turtle , Dolphins and a number of seals cooling themselves in the swell at Longnose Bommie.

Bream Cove had a nice little mtr high swell rolling in to it and it was nice to have a leg stretch and morning tea with the infamous JBK Banana cake sugar hit.
It is a always a magic feeling touching down at Bream Cove - Jervis BayPaddling out towards the Torpedo Tubes and Sea Caves of the docks we were blesed with light but building Nor Easter which flattens the sea state in this area allowing close up and personal experiences with the rock formations and sea caves.

The swell still hindering access to the large U shaped Docks Sea Cave, Tracy and I gave it a go but decided ( very wisely ), not to venture in as a set wave rolled in exploding in to the back of the cave.

With the wind strengthening the decision to head back to Honeymoon Bay for lunch was made and a superb downwind run was had towards Longnose and back up into the wind as rode green swells back on the Montague Roadstead
