Magnificent Montague Island

Name: Magnificent Montague Island – 10 & 11 Dec 2016.

 Grade: Grade 2 or 3 only.

 When: Be ready to hit the water at 08:30 sharp, Sat and Sun Morning.

 Where: Montague Island is about 10km SE of Narooma on the South Coast. Ask any seal, they all seem to know where this island is.

 The Plan: The Club has instigated a challenge to circumnavigate 10 NSW Islands in one year. To get the ball rolling I intend to run a trip to Montague Island.  See NSW Island Challenge for other upcoming challenge events.

 I have allowed two days for the trip so we have more opportunities for a weather window. On the “off day” we can conduct a local trip or go to the island twice. If you only come for one of the days you have less chance of making it to the island.

 We would launch from Mystery Bay (36°18'14.7"S 150°08'12.6"E - Cut and Paste into Google Maps) and go out and back, clockwise around the island.

 Overnight Accommodation: I will be camping at the Mystery Bay Council Camp Ground (36°18'02.2"S 150°07'53.9"E) a very short drive to the launch site. I intend to get there on the Fri afternoon. Mystery Bay is about 5 Hours from Sydney and 3 a half hours from Canberra.

  Distance:  It is a 26 km trip, with no opportunities for stopping on land (you are not allowed to land on the island). We may be able to stop briefly in the shallows for a stretch if conditions allow.

 Finish Time: Before 16:00 each day.

I will only be taking 4 members per day but I have opened the registration to 10. Please be aware that by registering you are only registering your interest and are not guaranteed a position on the trip. I will finalise closer to the date. Feel free to email me (Josh Andrews)  (fjandrews(at)outlook.com) if you have any questions.
