Access to the estuary

[Gary Elson]

Hi All
First time at the Moot and I see that it’s close to the estuary
Does anybody take a canoe / kayak for a bit of a paddle ?
Just thinking no biggy if it’s not on

It's fairly tidal and the banks are fairly steep. You may be able to do it though. Others have brought kayaks and I'm assuming they weren't just for decoration.

Depends what you are paddling, I suppose, but there are plenty of other places to put in within driving distance.

Best thing to take is a big bit of cardboard for sliding down the dunes on

I disagree. The best thing to take is several bottles of rum and other assorted alcohol.

Yeah. That might work. But it's a long walk and the naughty corner is closer. Drink enough and you won't need the cardboard either.

I think a compromise is needed here, drink the booze out of cardboard cups, drink enough and you can fall down the dunes, saves carrying a big piece of cardboard.

Hi Thanks for the info
I’m probably going to leave the canoe at home
Due to ....
1 it being to risky to paddle alone due to tides / rips etc
2 don’t want upset any local agreements or fishermen ( I fly fish as well)
3 I’ve been a canoeist / kayaker for 25 + years so I hopefully know my limits!
Thanks
I may however look at a days fishing !!

Frankly there's plenty to do to keep you busy on your first time!

When you're there this year you'll be able to have a good look about and see for yourself, next year you will know if it's good to bring it or not

Yep, I'll be there. Hopefully Tony will schedule it somewhere near the sandpit so I can keep an eye on my not so little one!

Tony is right.

No plan survives engagement with the Bushmoot.
