A night paddle to Southbank with a dinner stop. We will meet at the shed at 4:30 PM, get our boats and gear ready and start paddling with the current. It is about 7 km to Southbank, with the tidal assistance we should arrive at about 6 PM. We leave the boats at the pontoon and grab some food (you are welcome to bring your own). No alcohol is allowed.
We can start paddling back after the tide has turned (8 PM or later) and should arrive at the shed at 9 PM and then wash the boats and gear.
Please bring at least two white lights (no red etc.) and a glow stick. Those lights can be headlamps, front bike lamps etc that will be tied to the boat and/or your PFD. The lights are important so other boats are able to spot us on the river.

(3:42 PM & High at 10:05PM at Brisbane Bar) - Sunset: 5:33 – 5:56PM
- Moon: it is full moon so the later we leave, the stronger the tide against us. Conversely, we will have good tide assist on the way back. The moon rises at 5:30PM, so we will have some light from this once it is high enough.
