Fitness Paddle with Rob

A great day on the water. 18km, averaging 8.5kmh, Rob in the Taran, me in the V10S. Wind from the west up to 27knots, good speed into the wind, a nice run along the bay shore, then an hour surfing GREAT fun waves at Dolls Pt. We then thought we'd blast back across the bay with the Westerly up our clackers, but it was more quartering & provided me with some technical paddling as we got out of the lee.
I had my first live capsize in the ski, in some pretty nasty chop & got back in 3rd go, which was a relief because Mercer had left me for the sharks. You can see my capsize at about 1hr 34mins, and no surprise it coincides with my maximum heart rate. Average heart rate was 143bpm, which was a pretty good zone for more than two hours.
