Dolf and MattJ both bailed via text early this morning (within about 30 seconds of each other). The temptation to stay in bed, after 2 very short nights sleep and a full day of painting etc at work in between, was pretty high. It was only that the car was all packed that I convinced myself to get up and get into it.

Met Liz and jogged out through the Marina and along the south mole then back and over the hilly trail north then back along the beach.

After the run head north to Shenton ave then headed into a stiff breeze to Lakeside Dv then back to Joondalup drive and Ocean Reef Rd back to the coast.

Took it pretty easy as it was Liz's first ride for some time so tried to protect her from a pretty strong breeze. Gave her 1 minute and a flying head start up the ocean reef road hill and she suddenly found her bike legs got all competitive so I couldn't catch her.

Quick paddle to finish. To the point and back with a few looks back to keep intouch with Liz. Took me 5 minutes to even remotely 'not hate' the boat with the side swell making things very unstable. Eventually settled in but I'm not sure my technique is great in this boat in anything other than flat conditions. Might use the PRS next week as map reading and paddling may be a recipe for swimming.
