Day 7 – Turns into epic battle to reach shelter

S44°42.74' E171°10.01'

After 5 hours of total calm, the wind suddenly blew up to force 7 right on the nose. Had to battle the last 3km to reach shelter. Covered 42km total, and now resting in the tent, in the rain.

    Keep your spirits up! Both the ‘girls’ found this stretch tough going as well, but I’m sure you two are up to the challenge!

    After a tough day’s paddle you could get your strength back with a Wallaby pie, which is the local specialty in Waimate (it looks as if that’s more or less where you are).
