**Unfortunately todays event is cancelled due to high winds**

Now that the weather's getting warmer and the sunlight's lingering longer, it's the perfect time to explore Wellington by kayak at sunset. Sound good? Join the inaugural Thursday night jaunt around our sparkling harbour. Afterwards, we can continue the conversation and fun over food and drinks on the waterfront.

We'll meet at Ferg's Kayaks at 5.15pm for a 5.30 launch and have the kayaks back by 7pm. Please be there on time to get gear and your kayak fitted.

** This tour is weather dependent. I will post here on the day if it's cancelled. **

The cost is $24.00 which includes 1.5 hours on the water with a sea kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid and spray skirt. Also, we will be accompanied by a Ferg's instructor so we can improve our skills along the way and navigate gracefully through any challenges, returning intact as a group.

- Experience Level: Easy/Intermediate. You have paddled in a sea kayak before, but no rolling required. Wellington harbour offers a dynamic paddling environment with tides, currents, wind and commercial traffic, so it's better to take a class first if you're an absolute beginner.

- Wear appropriate clothing: no denim and no t-shirts. Cotton is not your friend in a kayak — it does not dry well and dissipates heat quickly. The water temps are much cooler than the air temperatures. Wool or synthetics are the way to go. If you have a wetsuit (farmer jane/farmer john), that would be ideal. Neoprene paddling shoes or dive booties are great too. While unlikely, it's possible to end up immersed, so dress accordingly.
