The Before Work paddles are a 6 week series of paddles where we meet on the same day each week for a 1 hour paddle. The first session is mostly instruction and after that we aim to paddle to a different location each week. We start out with relatively short paddles and increase the distance slightly each week. The group is limited to 8 people

The next series start:
* Tuesday, Auguest 17th 2010 (8 places available)
* Thursday, August 19th 2010 (8 places available) 

When we do the paddles east from Lavender Bay the plan is: 

1) Nearly all instruction with a short paddle	(1.5 km)
2) Careening Cove	(5.7 km)
3) Neutral Bay	(5.8 km)
4) Shell Cove	(6.6 km)
5) Mosman Bay	(7.8 km)
6) Bradleys Head	(9.0 km)

When we paddle west from Lavender Bay the plan is:

1) Nearly all instruction with a short paddle	(1.5 km)
2) Berrys Bay	(5.5 km)
3) Balls Head Bay	(6.5 km)
4) Gore Cove	(7.0 km)
5) Mort Bay, Balmain and Snails Bay, Birchgrove	(7.6 km)
6) Woolwich (Lane Cove River)	(8.2 km)

The distances gradually increase. Sometimes we might leave a little earlier for the longer paddles so it's an easier pace.

After the first session which is mostly instruction we try to meet 6:20 so we are on the water at 6:30 am.  We aim to finish our paddles at 7:30am that can be a little later sometimes but it shouldn't be later than 7:45am.

If you've already done the instruction on a previous series then you can skip the first instructional session and the first of your six paddles will start from the following week and we'll do an extra paddle in week 7.

I usually take pictures on each paddle and email these to everyone within a day.
