I have an ideal, once I have completed my Sea Kayak I want to do a short trip down at Sussex Inlet, St Georges Basin area with some of the more adventurous people in the district. So whoever is interested lets start tic tacking with a day trip, considering Sussex Inlet is just over an hour away via I-92. The ideal is for a safe one day, overnight trip with other people for adventure and fun. I would also like some feedback on safe day bushwalks in the area considering the weather is cooling and we are out of bushfire season. Other consideration is there a chance of building a couple of canoes or double sea kayaks with the local youth that the TSA would then look after? To buy a Canadian canoe ($1000+) or a sea kayak ($1500+) of the shelf, is an expensive option plus they would not be looked after if the TSA, Mulwarree Trust purchased them outright. If we setup a short sharp building program we can build for about $500ea over a couple of weekends. I have developed pretty good skills in this area and would like to see the young ones get together as a team building, skill development project with assistance from other interested parties. Basically get away from the computer games, TV's and get out and have fun. The canoe that I built has done a couple of trips down the Shoalhaven river and is designed for expeditions for 2 x crew and all their equipment for a long weekend. It also has watertight buoyancy compartments for safety. The sea kayak as the name implies is also designed for expeditions in the ocean for one or two people (single or double boat) can also carry equipment for a long weekend and has six watertight buoyancy compart- ments for safety. I would appreciate some feedback in this area if anyone is interested whether as a group or a personal basis.
