Interesting day for bush bashing,
Meeting Allan and Craig at Captains Flat was the easy part, trying to find a way to access the Dam proved a little more difficult but thanks to Red and his Subaru we managed to ferry the kayak populous to within 200m of the waters edge ( Mind you it was a steep and rocky descent! ), I am looking forward to going back when the water temperature is above 6 degrees ( Yes it was very, very cold ) and the fish slightly more active, some decent arches appeared on sounders and great snags were found but alas no species was caught nor sighted in the dark, murky water.
Tried to get some photos on the water but paddling caused the dreaded cold hand syndrome, the Hobie Mirage crew seemed to get a few with the bonus of hands free operation and pocket warming capabilities, its times like these I wish my Quest was a Revolution but in saying that all the kayaks handled the extreme expedition well and we all made it home in one piece... This is the kind of adventure only read about in magazines from the safety of a couch or sofa accompanied by a nice heater ( Wall, floor, column or open fire will do ).
