The Nelligan to Clyde is a regular and popular paddle each year. Due to the tide times, 7 paddlers did it in reverse to take advantage of the incoming water and the promised southerly later in the morning. We set out from Korners Park beach in the Bay, and unfortunately the promised southerly was not as strong as we had hoped, giving us a lift for only a short time.
However due to the heavy rain and run off from the Budawangs, the flow of water counteracted somewhat the incoming tide. The Clyde River was very high despite the low tide. Finding a spot to land and sit for morning tea proved a challenge and lunch had to wait for our arrival in Nelligan. We were accompanied on the river by many other water craft enjoying the day.
This was our last paddle for the current program. We all look forward to the new program in the near future.
