Reached Catseye Bay. Very strong South Easterly wind, white sheets of spray blasting at us as we crossed the various sounds. Landed 9am and waited for the wind to ease. Paddled later, but still strong at 2pm. Had to be careful landing.

On the move again. Reached Looking Glass Bay after 43km paddle. Offshore wind picked up to 40 knots. Fine near to the coast, but nasty crossing Caswell Sound – quite a struggle. In a pretty bay, with the sun shining.

More northerly wind, so another day in the hut. Lots of cards to write and a short walk. Forecast for southerlies tomorrow but may be gale force unfortunately.

Still here, horrendous wind and rain. Cockpits full of rain. Best part of the day was eating stewed Annie’s Fruit Bars and Porridge – yum! Hope for southerly wind tomorrow. Good fire in hut.
