Sea Kayak Paddle from Coogee Marina to Swan Canoe Club
Sunday 25th October 2020
This paddle is suitable for members who have, as a minimum, basic sea kayaking skills.
You will need a suitable sit in sea kayak and all the necessary safety gear.
This is a joint paddle with Swan Canoe Club and the Sea Kayak Club WA. It will give both club members the opportunity to meet other club members who have a common interest in sea kayaking. Come along and meet club members that actually enjoy talking and hearing about sea kayaking.
Starting at Coogee Marina we will head north, passing the statue of CY O’Connor and then into Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. After a quick look around, we will head to the Fremantle Port entrance and then back along the Swan River to SCC. Approx. 16km.
Members and partners of both clubs are invited to a BYO BBQ lunch at the club after the paddle.
As this is a one-way trip, it would be helpful if you can arrange to get dropped off at Coogee Marina and picked up at the club afterwards.
Colin Priest
Sea Kayaking Instructor
To book a place on this paddle please contact; Colin cag2@westnet.com.au
