Red eye paddle to Fawkner Beacon

Paddle out to Fawkner Beacon from Sandringham Harbour with the Victorian Sea Kayak Club. 

Calm conditions made for pleasant paddling. It took a while to get Fawkner Beacon, chatting along the way.  We stopped for a snack at the beacon and watched a container ship coming up the channel.

It was fun surfing the bow waves from the ship after it passed.

I am happy with my Mirage 580 sea kayak, it is fast in the water, stable and easy to paddle. 

We had a coffee and chat afterwards in the Sandy Kiosk.
