We finished our journey today. Woke up very early and had a nice calm morning with a northerly breeze to send us to end without any trouble. The day we went to the doctor we organised for the cars and boat trailers to be brought up and we investigated where it would be possible to pull the boats out. The last official boat ramp is at Parnka Point, but Garry & Ryan found a rocky bay between Policeman Point and Salt Creek that they thought would be a possible access point, so that's where we finished our trip. We could have kept going to Salt Creek and beyond (approx 5km), but there was no place we could see to remove the boats up that far and we didn't have enough time to go there and back as the wind had strengthened and turned to a northerly pattern for the next few days.
So all in all a successful, challenging and enjoyable trip. We managed to travel from before the Murray Mouth up to the end of the Coorong only using the sun for power (plus leg-work). Lots of difficult passages and shallow pans and coral outcrops, but we made it.
Stay tuned and we'll post some photos of wildlife we've seen and some summaries when we've had some recuperating time.
Well done guys! Now it is planning for your next adventure!
