Flat water paddling at Lysterfield. We will head out there in the morning, paddle, find a spot for a picnic lunch then head back before the potential afternoon thunderstorm comes in.
Bring bathers, clothes to wear in kayak (its going to be warm so a long sleeve shirt might be good but also bring at least a thermal top), change of clothes to leave in car, sunhat/sunglasses/sunscreen, & booties/shoes that you can wear in kayak and won't fall off. Don't forget at least 1L of water and your picnic lunch.
You must be able to swim 50m. If you haven't been to a pool session recently you will need to practice a wet exit at the start.
