Our paddle with friends last weekend from Spit Bridge up Bantry Bay (11km round trip) was much fun and got us itching to hit the water again. So yesterday, we launched off from our jetty and paddled towards Shark Island.

It was a great workout – 16km round trip. What a gorgeous late winter morning: clear blue skies. Bit chilly to start, but we warmed up soon enough. We crossed over to the Opera House side for the first time – it was cool to see those sails from our little kayaks, although it was a little tricky navigating the waves caused by the ferry traffic.

By the time we rounded Shark Island, the boat traffic really picked up too, so we crossed back along the Taronga Zoo side. Perhaps it was a little too hectic for whales? Lol.
