Long Boat Run Bunbury to Busselton


Crew 1 below...
Crew 2 to the right....
We left the Yacht Club in Busselton at 5 am, rigged in Bunbury and paddled out of Casuarina Harbour at 6:45 on a chilly Sunday morning in February. 3 hours and 45 minutes later we changed crews at Peppermint Grove and Pai Hoe Waka continued south to Busselton. She arrived at the end of a 52 km paddle 6 hours and 12 minutes after leaving Bunbury. We spent the rest of the afternoon under the tent on the beach quaffing a few coldies from Kim and Marnie's wedding, enjoying a sausage sizzle, Gail's cherry cheese cake, old lies about outrigging and each other's company.
Much thanks to Anita and Barb for transporting sleepy people and lengthy trailers very, very early in the morning. Stay tuned for our next Long Boat adventure in the surf.

A fantastic effort everyone, we really enjoyed the day and the friendship over a few drinks and snags after the big paddle!!
