I think one of the criteria to join the Old Salts Canoe Club is that you are seriously into FUN.
At least, they certainly demonstrate their ability to enjoy getting together every time they come to Bondi!
They arrive well equipped -- their canoe fleet always draws attention. Canoeing both here, and in Algonquin Park, as well as tackling our trails, the club members aim to spend a lot of their time in the Great Outdoors.
This year several of them took on the Disc Golf course for the first time, energized by the information that there exists both a Semi and a Pro-Tour for this sport.
A group of them came out with me after dark, looking at the constellations. Our wolf pack obligingly howled, even before we tried to call them. After we'd mapped out the sky, Nancy howled for them again, and they came back right away with a lovely response. Much closer to us, this second howl around!
All that time outside helps work up an appetite, and there's never a shortage of food. Irleen dons the most wonderful hats for her stint in the kitchen -- this year she crafted her chef's hat out of a milk bag. Now that's recycling!
This is a great club. We hope they look forward to their trips to Bondi at least as much as we look forward to welcoming them back.
