Some people seemed to be very exited about the 'ice cubes' as we started getting ready.
Per usual, we paddled along the north shore...
...and then hung around the falls while we waited for Terry to catch up (he was late arriving).
Terry caught up and we carried on.
We crossed over to the south side when we arrived at Sheeps Head.
The further we paddled out the harbour the more we felt the effects of the well along the shoreline.
It was after lunch when we arrived at Lance Cove where we pulled up on the beach...
Damn sand!!
We refueled our motors before getting underway.
There was a fish box in the surf that Terry decided he would bring home with him. He used his short tow-line to secure it to his back deck!!!
From Lance Cove it was a shortish paddle to get a little closer to the icebergs. Brian, Sue and I chose to maintain a safe distance while the others ventured closer. Luckily, I was one of only two that had brought a camera and so I took a bunch of pictures of Brian and Sue with a berg-background, trying to get a good one...
C'mon Sue, move closer...
Closer....
A little more...
That's the shot....
We bobbed about for a while and then made our uneventful way back to the cars. We all had coffee/tea and eats in the nearby restaurant... A great little paddle.
(For local paddlers that might be reading this, our total trip out and back was under 16 km... so unless the bergs have moved off, it is not a long paddle for you to go have a look...)
