Can I Canoe You Up the River?

It was meant to look like this.

The weather forecast said showers. They lied. We had continuous rain nearly all weekend.

We spent two days soaked to the bone.

If you asked me if I would like to kayak up the Hawkesbury river in torrential rain, I would have said no. But having done it, I’m proud that we kept fighting and paddling all weekend.

It was Duckfish’s birthday present. A 2-day kayaking adventure that promised idyllic beaches and overnight camping in luxury. It was a great big adventure, but not quite idyllic or luxurious.

We are now home, exhausted, muscle sore and finally dry. It was fun. Happy birthday Duckfish – there is no-one else I’d rather be wet and muddy in a tiny two man tent with.
