Even in the middle of a country wide drought Sydney still manages to put on a 24 hour torrential downpour. Last weekend found me lifting the boat to the waters edge then thinking "Only a person with water on the brain would think of going out in this downpour" so I turned and took the kayak back to the boat house. At this point my pigheaded self said "Don't be such a wimp, get back to the water". Once paddling though, it was magical, rain mist blowing in shrouds across the cliffs, arrowheads of water spiking up like tufts of grass, soggy fairy penguins diving, a large and gentle swell easing the boat forwards. And the strangest currents and eddies. Well worth it.
