The biggest turnout so far, 32 paddlers took to the water for race 5 of the W1 Harbour Series. A big thank you to Chester Burt, Sharlene and Tuhiwai for running this event while Joern is away in Germany.
The start was on the Pauatahanui side of the Mana Bridge, where it was out of the cool Southerly breeze pushing its way through the Porirua Harbour. The course headed around one of the moored boats just off Ivy Bay then headed under the Mana Bridge, down alongside the yachts near Te Onepoto Bay, then around a buoy by the Jetty at Whitireia Polytechnic then back under the bridge to the finish.
The distance was 8 km. In case of any mistakes in the results, please let Joern know.
