General Plan | Meet at Sullivans Bay at 09:30 am on Saturday 18/01/14, on the water 10:00am. Please make yourself know to the leader when you arrive. If you need help packing leave a bit more time than 30 minutes, I will assist if required. Depending on who registers, the weather conditions etc., we can paddle via Saddle, Moturekareka to Motuora or head directly to Motuora. Camp on Motuora for the night. Leisurely start on Sunday. Depending on Weather, kayak round Motuora on the way home. The weather and people attending will determine the level and type of the activity. If you want to join the trip, you need to make your own booking for the Camp site. You need to call or email.
Motuora Island does not have any café’s etc., so in terms of food:
Plan B: I will check the weather on Friday Morning, and determine if it looks like we can go. If the weather is not suitable, I will cancel the trip. So you need to check your email & text messages.

Camping Gear | I suggest, dry bags for all your gear. I personally prefer 10L dry bags, as they pack into you kayak easier than a few 30 L dry bags. It would be best if at least your cloths & sleeping bag are in dry bags. If you do not have any dry bags consider buying some. Canoe & Kayak, Bivouac, Warehouse etc. all have various forms of dry bags. Alternatively, bring your own thick black bags. Camping Kit
