Light breeze this morning and overcast so debated about staying put for the day, but decided to soldier on. Made our way through the maze of bombies and a small sandbar 150mm under the water that completely blocked the way and then the path opened up to a long section of deep water and fairly easy motoring.
Had a morale-boosting visit from Tim & Paul on their canoe today with some blue-vein cheese and crackers from mum - much appreciated!
Wind was kind so we made 10km, which is our current daily goal. Should make it Parnka tomorrow where we have a buried stash of food/drink. Our camp sites are getting better and better; camping on an island tonight at the start of the needles. Passage through looks tight, but we should be able to wind our way through with an early start. The weather looks bright and sunny tomorrow, which will make spotting obstacles easier.
The island is small - approx 40m wide by 150m long and we are in a sheltered bay. Found an old kayak with a timber paddle, which we've attached under the blue cat to increase buoyancy.
Found out something we didn't know about kangaroos today - Garry saw them swimming across from this island to the Coorong mainland.
Looking forward to tomorrow's challenge.
Swimming kangaroos! Awesome. My extent of animals in the wild is trying to take Sabre to the vet today. She is one wild doggy. What are you doing up blogging at 4:15am!! See you soon I hope. Jess Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jess. I think our computer's time is up the creek. Don't worry, we've been going to bed way before then. As soon as the sun goes down my sleeping bag starts calling my name. There it goes now. It must be obeyed. Seeya soon, Sarxxx
