Vamos A La Playa.

So, as the river is in flood at the moment, and the sand bar separating the river from the lagoon is at a decent depth, I decided to take the little boat (Suzy Doo) all the way down to the beach. According to my Garmin, 15km away. Gorgeous summer's day, a bit of a south-easter blowing creating a bumpy ride on the lagoon, but a really nice ride. I think I'd like to try it again soon in Three Summers!!!


The GPS track of the trip (slipway is three blocks from home):


The red track is Suzy Doo's trip - the blue track is a trip earlier in the year in Three Summers. (I use the GPS as my Skipper's log.)

Oh, and those contour heights - they're in metres, just so you know they're mountains and not hills... ;)

I had to take my shoes off at the beach to pull the boat up on to the sand, and left them off for the return trip. Big mistake - my legs haven't seen sunlight for several years (you know, living in England) and now my shins and the tops of my feet are severely sunburnt!!! From one hour's exposure!!!!

Ouch.

Time to get some sunblock.

Still, a worthwhile trip.
