Testing Gear


Raia & Maggie having a chat coming back from Altona

On Sunday we lead the monthly Williamstown club paddle, which is a relatively short trip over to Altona seemingly for the purpose of drinking coffee! The day was clear and the winds almost calm - an unusually glassy sea day for Williamstown!

It was a good opportunity to test some new gear.

We tried out the SPOT tracker in tracking mode and also a new camera mount for my kayak. With the Pentax camera we can do interval photography  - shooting pictures to the front, to one side or back at the kayaker. Finally some evidence that I am actually on an expedition - usually there are few photos of me on trips and very rarely anything close up!
