Quail Island Paddle

After work on wednesday, Murray and I had arranged for a bit of Sea Kayaking. We put in at Cass bay in very calm conditions then proceeded out towards Quail Island. There was a little bit of wind and chop out in Lyttleton Harbour, but nothing to really get concerned about.

Progress was made well, so we decided on a circumnavigation of the island. However, one end of the island more resembled a penninsula with mudflats at low tide. A muddy but fortunately not too long portage saw us back in the water.

After seeing the ship graveyard, we cruised home, past a Little Blue Penguin and on to Lyttleton for fish and chips.

Its a long portage at low tide..

Portage all done :)
