    A special trip aiming for us to venture deep into the mangroves at a king (1.9m) tide. Approximately 16kms all up. This is a unique adventure that requires kayak manoeuvring skills as we paddle single file finding our way through the trees into a peaceful mangrove sanctuary.

    We will aim to launch either from La Perouse, or Dolls Point depending on the winds forecast. After our crossing to Kurnell we'll stop for a short break at a sandy beach for BYO coffee and food, then head over to the mangroves and find our way (literally) through the mangroves. 
    Bring your thermos and lunch This trip is suitable for any grades from Grades 1 up and will be led by Cathy Miller (Enclosed Waters Guide) and Simon Swifte (training for EWG).

    Well obviously you wouldn't drive to the NSWSKC Christmas morning tea at Chowder Bay.  Let's paddle there from Tunks Park.

    Later on I'll put some more thought into time and distance, but I guess it'll be something like 8:30 meet-up at Tunks for 9:00 on the water and about 20km round-trip to Chowder Bay.  You can choose whether to have early lunch at Chowder Bay or late lunch at Tunks.  I figure a big morning tea will tide me over till our return to Tunks.

    Hopefully school sport will be done for the year and parking will be easy.  If the boaties get up a bit early it may be busy and we may have to drop kayaks and drive up the hill to park.  For sure the carpark and boat ramp will be a bit crazy by the time we get back.
