Hi Members and Friends,

We wish to extend our sympathy to all affected by the tragedy at Bondi.

Good paddling conditions, except for dodging the scattered Salvinia Molesta weed, still making its way downstream – slowly – obviously uncontained at The Milk Factory weir.
It may have been helpful for those clearing the weed above the weir – when the flood washed copious quantities down the River, into Tuggerah Lake – but now the foreshores are smothered with it! The River itself has escaped inundation.
After their enforced absence at three races, due to transportation difficulties, Paul & Vernise returned with a vengeance, to register a significant PB! John continued his good form, and Sue also scored a PB! Alby and Rob had a good contest. Ken had his first race in the Horizon Flyer, meeting the Handicapper’s expectations. Russell found the weed caught on the bow of his K1, but still finished strongly. The most entertaining finishers were Michael, Marni and David! Clive and Malcolm navigated the “hazards” successfully! Cam and Marnie fought it out to the line! Max and Ray were not in top form today.

Ken and Malcolm won the Lucky Prizes and Margaret did not get much help from her “Assistant” – him wrestling with a substitute camera following the failure of his otherwise trusty Waterproof! Thank you, Margaret, and everyone, for helping out today.
Regards,
Nick.
