We went down to Canberra, combining a trip for me to catch up with an old friend and bridge partner, a trip for Liz to see her nieces and a trip to Robertson to pick up the new boat.
I took the opportunity to explore the manual operations of the camera as we drove down the Federal Highway. It's a pretty hit and miss business taking pictures from a moving car with shaky hands, but this tree turned out pretty well.

Focus failure. I thought there'd be more cyclists, but we only saw five or six on the entire trip.

This is the new boat. The key difference is the rudder at the back, but it is also 2 feet longer than the last one. Longer boats are faster. The physics of steering are that sitting in the middle of a boat is probably the worst place to try and steer from - we got the hint from a Canadian guy a couple of years ago; he'd had a rudder added to his canoe prior to setting a record on the Yukon. This is Liz's boat for the Hawkesbury.
