Rottnest - rafting up ready for home

The 2008 Rottnest trip was a huge success, with 3 days of great paddling, and evenings full of hilarity on the big verandah of the house you can see in the background. The wind came up on the last day, so these paddlers were in for a long and bumpy ride home.

Tim Robinson has set up a Forum for Sea Kayakers in Australia. It is run independently of a club or business with the idea that it would be of benefit to clubs and businesses and would be available to kayakers world wide. There are posts on general kayak talk, techniques, equipment etc., and if you register you can post information yourself. See http://www.seakayakforum.com/.
