Default Some morning Inspiration

Well of late I've noticed some pretty disheartened or negative threads so I thought I'd share my Tuesday morning with everyone.

At 7am, in the 30 deg sun, I went down to Wellington Point and paddled my sea kayak out to Peel Island and came up to a couple of sea turtles and in the shallows a nice manta! On the paddle back a pod of dolphins were swimming between the island and Manly.

Sadly its always one of those things that the by the same I've got my camera out my pdf pocket they have dived again, but I hope the view from my kayak this morning offers a little cheer.

Sometimes you just have to forget the day to day grind, the worries about what the future holds and just go and enjoy life. There is no better place to my mind that enjoying what Australia has to offer.

Have a great day!

You're brave, paddling all that way. We tried paddling along the shoreline at Fraser Island and I was knackered after 5 minutes!

We went out sailing with my parents late last year and saw dugongs and dolphins. We saw a shark last weekend while fishing at Raby Bay. We've just bought a trailerboat and I'm looking forward to going out to Tangalooma. I just hope we don't go zipping by all the wildlife!

Thank you I really needed some positive vibes as the nerves are getting the better of me at the moment. I would be absolutely over the moon to be able to see dolphins and sea turtles so close and in their own surroundings. Bliss
