oh catching up again!

So a fair bit has been happening here. We've done a weekend away in the Southern Highlands and stayed at the 'Artists House' in Bundanoon. Had another weekend up the coast in Somersby at Laura's farm for her bday. Giles came down to Sydney and we enjoyed a fantastic music festival (in the rain, yay for ponchos, although we were still covered in mud!) And to finish it all up, Owen and I paddled in the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic. Unfortunately we finished early due to the end of the race being cancelled due to bad weather, but it was still just under 100k. We realized a bit late that we were def in the wrong handicap catagory and that we should have started about an hour earlier! Oh well... something to remember for next time. There were some parts of the paddle that were gorgeous, still water with beautiful reflections. And then near the end... and all the rain... and wind... and high tides, ugh...! But we enjoyed it.

Walking down to middle harbour where Owen teaches sailing, you can't even imagine that the predictions are all for rain and storms!Our lovely boat and before the start:
Our start group, if you can see, note we are the only ones in a plastic kayak! oops! At our finishing point, lots of mud behind us!
