4 Dec 2013: Today’s sunrise was gob smacking beautiful! I could tell that it was going to be a stunner from the moment I cast off at 4.50am. The morning tones were sublime with the eastern skyline evolving from soft purple pastels to a burst of gorgeous gold. Chances are that if you are out and about in the early hours of the morning you will experience something special.

21 Nov 2013: What and optical feast the sunrise was this morning. I am continually blown away by the amount of beautiful sunrises and sunsets that Canberra continually produces. Every day has its own unique signature, one day I’ll be floating amongst the mist, the next morning I’ll be treated to gorgeous golden tones with pastels pinks to west. Then to top it all off you are gob smacked with sunrise like the one this morning where at one stage it looked as if liquid lava was floating on the surface.
5.24am: Liquid lava sunrise
20 Nov 2013: I know I keep saying it, but once again I have been treated to another stunning morning. The pastel tones transformed into a glorious golden glow as the sun popped up over the landscape, unveiling a beautiful day.
Once again I’m greeted with Pastel pinks to the West…..How good is that!
19 Nov 2013: Pastel pinks lined the skies to the West this morning as I chasing the full moon into the main basin. On my return I watched golden tones flood over Canberra welcoming a new day; I love seeing Canberra from this perspective.
Love seeing things from this perspective
7 Nov 2013: This morning I was treated to a gorgeous sunrise and stunning silhouettes. I ventured over the mouth of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands and caught a the sunrise with ‘Pedro’ and his Squadron. Soon after that the members from The “Capital Lakes Rowing Club” were getting ready for their morning rowing session on LBG. Then to top it all of I decided to drift my way through the Kingston Foreshore developed. I don’t think it will be too long before the Kingston Foreshore will be alive and buzzing, I’m looking forward to grabbing a table, sitting back on the pier and enjoying the view. It’s going to be another beautiful day here in Canberra so I hope that you get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Have a great day!
6 Nov 2013: I was totally mesmerised by the mist this morning. There wasn’t any need for speed at all so I decided to kick back and float my through a magnificent misty morning. The crew from the ‘Burley Griffin Canoe Club’ or I should call them the ‘Mist Busters’ were going through their paces and blasted past me as usual. It shaping up to be a fantastic day, so I hope you get the chance to get outside today and enjoy.
5.29am and I’m floating though the mist on the Molonglo River.
31 OCT 2013: It was a beautiful misty start on Lake Burley Griffin this morning. I was enjoying the peace and calm waiting for the sun to rise and out of the rising mist on the Molonglo River shot the Ice Dragon Outrigger Canon Club, they looked fantastic. I drifted my kayak into the East Basin enjoying the sunrise to discover plenty of activity with the outriggers, surf boats, sculls and kayakers all going through their morning paces. All this activity made for an enjoyable Thursday morning float.
5.36am: I looking forward to this morning.
26 Oct 2013: This was my first float back on Lake Burley Griffin after going to China with Tully (eldest boy) to watch Finn (middle boy) play 7 games of football (soccer) in 10 days. The conditions were fresh but I was certainly treated to a stunning warm welcoming home. I know I say it a lot, but I just love starting the day like this!
27 Sept 2013: There is no better way to see the working week out than by slicing your way through glassy waters. Today is shaping up to be an absolute cracker here the capital, so I hope that you get the chance to get outside an enjoy, especially after yesterdays tumultuous conditions.
Super calm conditions made for a very cruisy start.
