FAGANS BAY KAYAK - 11 OCTOBER 2016

I started the day with a morning kayak at Fagans Bay in Brisbane Water.


The conditions were ideal earlier with a high tide, sunshine and a light wind.

It was a pretty paddle with a mangrove shoreline and fairly clear water.

There were heaps of birds - cormorants, ducks, pelicans, cockatoos, galahs, spoonbills, herons and ospreys.

The railway bridge was an interesting feature to paddle under and around. There is one bridge and the rusted pylons of an earlier bridge.

Strangely, I kept finding things in the water that were waterlogged and useless - a large drill and case, a lounge, a kayak, two eskies and a fishing kit. The drill and case, I took to shore and put in a bin.

The wind was fairly strong on the return leg with spray flicking occasionally in my face.

A great and pretty 4.5 km kayak with birds and bridges.

CENTRAL COAST - BRISBANE WATER - FAGANS BAY - KAYAK - 4 JANUARY 2015

I had a kayak with John at Fagans Bay at West Gosford.


It was a nice kayak - warm sunrise, clear water, different birds in flight or foraging for food (spoonbills, cormorants, ibises, egrets) swirling water, increasing tide movement, quiet, 'tank rocks', bridges (railway and old railway bridge remains) and fish breaching the water.

A good kayak with good company.
