Gorillas in the mist... or "a saturday paddle in the rain"

A great crew showed up for Kirstens social paddle this week. Paddled from the Wairoa Bridge up the river for an hour and then back. Was dead calm with just a light drizzle and the odd shower. Really made me start to think about how nice it would be to have one of those flatwater race boards. Heading into winter its time to start thinking about digging out the warm clothes again, last year we paddled right though winter and it was fine, just the odd frozen foot on the really long paddles. Looking forward to next weekends paddle already!
