Having Your Kayak and Eating Well Too

Cabbage Tree Creek runs through the Royal National Park at Bundeena and on Tuesday, 28 October ten lucky Seniors went down to the sea in kayaks and had a wonderful time. Thanks to the generosity of Seniors Card and the organiser, Serah Chubukoff, we'd won a day trip through our net contact - pays to consult the net regularly. Marnie and Bruce Sigal of Bundeena Sea Kayaks provided the craft and Bruce gave information on the beautiful, wild park area we paddled through with instructive encouragement to beginner paddlers.

From his kayak hatch Bruce produced the makings for a welcome morning break. As the yummy mufffins provided by Marnie disappeared we watched the intrepid Tony and Richard of our group paddle back upstream against the rapid water under a low bridge. They made it! Clapping and cheers!

By lunchtime anyone would have thought we'd all known one another for years, so we went up to the RSL overlooking the water for lunch. (Poor souls - but someone had to do it.) Though the day had dawned wet and grey there was sunshine by mid-morning. The wind kept low so it turned out to be a perfect day for kayaking. Thanks Seniors Card people.
