Bay to Beach - 27th Nov - 36km

Canoeing Downunder shirts on and ready to race

We thought we'd take our elite racing craft and tackle the Bay to Beach race.  Paddling to the start from the finish as a warmup to double the distance also seemed like a good idea.  Everything went pretty well, with good conditions we averaged almost 10km/hr over the 18km.  It was pretty funny to watch the five of us competitive blokes racing as hard as we could in our big bath tubs.  Jas and Timmy broke away at the half way mark and were pretty happy with their 20m lead (a lot when your paddling these boats) but then Ros and Benny made a strong comeback.  In the end we all crossed the line together.  During presentations Jesse was great and allowed us a bit of time to share about our trip.
