A very short blog today, after paddling 55k, I'm ready for bed. I didn't see that shark again either, just a murky sort of a morning punching into a headwind. Fortunately the Pittarak is fantastic upwind.
As the weather improved, and I found that I had entered co-ordinates incorrectly and Seaspray was 7k closer than I thought, I was filled with gratitude. So I'd like to mention Tracey Mair, publicity guru, who has been the backbone of this trip.
A few people are asking after my health now that I've been going over a month. I'm feeling really good, certainly like I'm hitting peak fitness at the right time, and though today's paddle was long and hard, I had plenty in reserve, and will be fine for tomorrow, another big day. My hands are a mess of blisters and callouses which hurt most of the time. espeacilly when I stop, and I'm suffering a bit from all the exposure, but besides a sore rear end, that's about it, so I'm really happy with how that's going so far. No Worries.
Finally, a quick reminder of the event this Sunday at the Portsea Pub. See the events page for details, and please spread the word.
