Doing fun things was a bit hard to coordinate with the above weather.
Anyway, I had fun on some days.:)
2 JUNE 2018
A strong and cold wind. Off for a windsurf at Canton Beach.
The wind wasn't so strong when I started though I did get a few
short runs. After a while, the wind began to pick up. Time for long runs with the wind
gusting heavily at times. The water was very cold water so I tried not to get wet.
I need to
have the boom a little higher and the mast base firmly attached. A tightening
of the harness straps is definitely needed.
Bill was there when I arrived but he was leaving. Wally
turned up just as I was about to go into the water. Later, Craig and Steve
arrived just as I was leaving. Paul made an appearance but choose elsewhere.
3 JUNE 2018
A surf at North Avoca Beach.
It was pretty wild at the start
with only a couple of okay waves. The tide peaked at high and the waves
improved immensely but also the size quickly dropped. After an hour, it
virtually stopped breaking on the sand bank I was on.
A mountain bike ride at Kincumba Mountain. The tracks were
damp so the soft sand on parts of the track were firmer. A good ride.
Later, Jacinta, Kara, Mr A and I had a wander around Terrigal Beach.
7 JUNE 2018
A morning kayak at Avoca Lagoon.
There was a lot of water in
the lagoon. At the far west of the lagoon, the tress were immersed by the water. It was nice looking at the reflections, the play of the sun's light on
the water and the silhouette of the trees in front of the sun.
Kara had an appointment in Sydney. While she was at the
appointment, I had a bike ride along the Cooks River cycle path towards Homebush
Bay. Not a bad ride.
12 JUNE 2018
Surf check with nice sunrise.
Down to Sydney for Kara's medical treatment. While she was
there, I drove to La Perouse to Bare Island and the Komay Botany Bay NP.
I hiked around part of the island's shoreline base, along the two beaches of Congwong and Little Congwong, Browns Rock and Henry Head. The latter had old gun emplacements and concrete
bunkers and the coast view was very pretty.
In future fun, I could do an ocean kayak starting from
Frenchman's Beach and a hike to Banks Cape.
13 JUNE 2018
Down to Sydney again.
Drove to Olympic Park and had a cycle around the paths from
the Bicentenary carpark. Nice ride. Such a pretty place in the heart of the city.
14 JUNE 2018
Down to Sydney.
While Kara was at her appointment, I had another cycle
ride at the Olympic Park. This time, I started from Wilsons Park. A nice ride
along the riverfront then along the paths and tracks of Haslams Creek.
An easy but fun ride.
15 JUNE 2018
At home today. A bit brisk, a flat surf and an increasing
wind.
Kara, Mr A and I drove to Somersby Falls and sat in the sun
on a large rock at the top of the falls. Nice.
After. we drove to
Oomphs in East Gosford. Good coffee and food.
20 JUNE 2018
A great kayak around Avoca Lagoon. The lagoon was the highest than I've ever seen. It was fun paddling around the tress immersed by the water.
22 June 2018
Lunch on the waterfront at Brisbane Water, East Gosford with Kara.
23 June 2018
A kayak at Mooney Mooney and Piles Creek.
The morning was sunny but cold. I misjudged the tides and so I could only paddle a short distance up Piles Creek. I had plenty of time so I drifted with the outgoing tide to Piles Creek. It was nice drifting and listening to the sounds of the bush.
Later, I had lunch at Terrigal Haven with Jacinta on the promenade.
25 JUNE 2018
A mountain bike ride at Bouddi National Park. I followed the tracks from Maitland Bay carpark in a loop manner. The tracks were only damp from the rains which tended to bind the sandy sections better. A fun ride with pretty scenery.
29 JUNE 2018
A hike around Terrigal Haven and the beach.
A fun ride around the quarry. I tried riding over the harder sections and did better than I thought I'd do. :) The Hill tracks were covered in lots of loose rock making for some fun riding.
