  • Day 14 – Tautuku Peninsula

    S46°36.03' E169°26.15'

    Arrived on the Tuatuku Peninsula after 38km paddle with lots of surfing. Nearly wiped out by a breaking wave off Nugget Point shortly after setting out. Albatross came very close. Had a good landing.

  • Day 13 – Nugget Point

    S46°26.43' E169°47.91'

    Arrived at Nugget Point after 8 hours and 59km paddling. Lots of fast surfing, conditions were quite rough. Looked for the breakwater at Nugget Point but couldn’t find it so landed on a pretty beach through small surf.
