2 Harbours    

On the 12^th November 2017 the Fish Hoek Beach Sports Club was host to the Cape Town Summer series. As this race involved going in and out of Kalk Bay Harbour permission needed to be given by the Harbour Master. Permission was gladly given and so the planning began. The route requires either a very light southerly or northerly wind to make it possible but fortunately for them the weather was perfect for the running of the inaugural 2 Harbours race on the day the paddlers were treated to more of a easterly making the stretch from Kalk Bay to Simon Town almost downwind in nature. The experienced paddlers knew to leave something in the tank because the more the downwind conditions got the more effort it would take to get home from Simons Town. The less experienced paddlers simply revelled in the apparent ease of the conditions and then found it quite hard work paddling the last 6km in to the wind. Luckily for them there was the rescue duck to keep a watchful eye on them all the way home.
