There were several events this last weekend, with a Marathon Race, a Sprint Regatta, a Slalom event at Collie and a war dance at Sandy Beach. Then you had the DownWind guys out on the ocean and other paddlers doing social trips so it's been a busy week.

Fireworks at Garvey Park
from our balcony
Belmont Shire put on the fireworks last Friday night at Garvey Park.
It was good viewing from our balcony.
Nikki our greyhound didn't like the loud bangs so she scarpered into the walk-in-robe.
The fireworks went on longer than I would have thought for a local show.
There was a cold chill in the air but we couldn't not watch.

PM us on Facebook (@IndianOceanPaddlers) or email us at events@iop.asn.au if you have any issues.

The race is broken into wave starts with self grading into Aspiring, Experienced and Elite categories. The usual safety kit will be required for participants. PFD, leg
leash are mandatory, as is a flare if you go more than 400m offshore . We ask that you consider wearing a bright fluoro green/pink/orange cap to help water safety spot you out amongst the white tops !.

Race rego from 2:30 pm. First wave away at 3:30pm. Please check in at least 30 minutes before the race to confirm your attendance.
|
|
|
In consideration for the hard working IOP race crew, please try to get your entries in online prior to race day.

In case we don't see you at Race 5, we hope you have a great festive season, and get some thumping
good downwinders in over the Summer break. Stay safe and come back in the new year for 4 more IOP Summer Series events !.
