  • Windy day means day off

    Windy day today with surf over 2m! Very nice day off on endless sandy beach, exploring and resting. Remote roadend here. Saw a couple who gave us bread. Early night in order. Hope to paddle tomorrow.

  • 44km against the wind

    Paddled 44km against a headwind. Had to time surf launch and landing well. Sea rough and windy now. In tent in the rain with rice, lentils and veg for tea.

  • 3 metre surf causes pause for thought

    Powerful 3 metre surf today, so stayed here! Walked and slept. Smaller surf this evening but due to rise again tomorrow afternoon with North Westerly wind due. Not sure if we will go tomorrow. Really pretty here.

  • Paul saves day by returning phone!

    S43°13.38' E170°09.37'

    Got phone back! Thanks to Paul for driving the phone to us. Being put by a couple in a pretty village and saw lots of dolphins today. It was a calm day until 2pm then 30 knot south-westerly wind which is still going but has dropped a bit.
