Some photos of the crappy weather.
6 guys, 6 yaks, 3 Days on Peel Island
What more can I say except bloody oath I'll be there. I said this about 2 months ago when my mates first planned the trip, before I even had the kayak! It took it's time coming around but it was well worth the wait.
We had 3 Wavedance Calypso's, 2 Viking Espri's and a Viking Nemo. The Calypso's are great yak for transporting stuff in. With their big hatch at the back you can shove a whole lotta crap in there.
We started paddling from cleveland point at 7:50 on Saturday morning and hit the beach in Horse shoe bay at 9:40. Wow that hurts a bit, but how good is this view!!!!
Night fishing was the go here, except for bait gathering during the day. The pike are a bit of fun for an hour or two. We managed to catch tailor, gummy sharks (I think), flathead and stingrays oh and pike lots of pike. I also had great fun catching yakkas(I think) on the sx-40 ended up catching and releasing about 20 of them.
As you can tell by the photo's the weather was bloody horrible :lol: Fair dinkum we couldn't have picked a better weekend for it even if we had a time machine to go in to the future and then come back and plan it.
Saturday night the bay was fully packed with large luxurios boats (over 100 of them). There were some good looking boats there, there was also some great looking deckhands, if ya know what I mean. :shock:
We paddled back today in the same amount of time with a loight breeze at our back but the swell was up to 1 metre I would say.

sounds like a top paddle and get-together guys 
from my perspective, she looks like a dog shark, or Pt Jackson, bu its pretty well the same colour in your photo. ours get darker splotches on them, but it may just be a location thing. did it have teeth, or two pads of huge-grit sandpaper??
nice work.

can you remember if it had a distinct, probably 7-10cm long spine on its dorsal fins? no teeth and spines says doggy to me, but im all the way down here! we get doggies off all metro jetties in Adelaide, and out to sea, so it still is possible
