JBK Paddler Club - Sea Caves Trip

Another great day was had by members of the JBK Paddlers Club as we hit the water again together on Sunday. The launch was Murray's Beach boat ramp inside JB for a foray outside to see what the cliffs of the Bherwhere Peninsula had to offer.

As far as weather forecasts go, ours was just about perfect; light westerly winds, no swell.

The team passed through an unusually calm Gap to find exactly what we were hoping for - calm seas and shelter from the breeze. This was a perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the spectacular sea caves and rock formations along this part of our southern coastline. The crew took advantage of the favourable tide to land at Stoney Creek about 7kms down the coast, before the return trip back to the heads.

Although a stiff breeze (well maybe a strong headwind wind) greeted us coming back into the bay, everyone was happy to put their heads down and work hard for the 15min trip back to the boat ramp.

(A special mention to Brad Matthews who had his first experience at trapping an undesirable in his spraydeck on the way back from Stoney Creek - in this case a March fly who liked the look of the inside of a Tsunami 165)
