TWO boats were out along the Estuary Wilds as part of WivGigs Social Sunday. We’re weren’t alone. There was plenty of other river traffic, bobbing and weaving along the Muddy Banks. I was on second stroke in Varuna. We managed to outpace the WADS and the Cadets, and then powered on towards Buoy 18.
The weather became changeable as we reached the mouth of the estuary. This was a day for pondering the dilemma of shorts or trackies, T-shirts or long sleeves? I decided to mix ‘n’ match my sartorial look, with bare legs, long sleeves.
There was plenty of water for us to explore, with another whopper of a high tide. The waves became a little choppy as we attempted our turn around Buoy 18. The conversation in the boat was football based, along with running injuries. I have a foot in both camps right now, so to speak.
I volunteered to jump out of Varuna as we approached the Sailing Club to secure her. It’s always a little hit and miss, dangling over the side, and waiting to reach the hard as the boat floats up towards the Sailing Club. TOUCHDOWN was achieved.
There was a BBQ breaking out by the Sailing Club. Sadly work commitments kept me away.
