  • Passed 1000km mark and running out of toothpaste

    Rest day, lots of wind and rain. Eating lots. Reached the 1002km mark yesterday! Hope to get to Milford Sound in two paddling days but the weather will decide. Nearly run out of toothpaste…

    Light winds and a sunny day helped us cover 72km to reach Neck Cove. Stunning views along the way including dolphins. Tired not but in comfy hut. Due to be strong northerly windws again tomorrow so good to have covered the distance today.

  • Retreat Retreat!

    How unlucky?! Only managed 13km today!Paddled to fjord exit but NW wind was too strong, so came back to same place. Put tent up in small hut on barge. We need the tent because of the hoards of sandflies. And it’s still raining!

  • Sunday Cove

    Reached Sunday Cove after 35km paddle. Wind was behind us as we went east, and against us as we went north. Raining all day but in a beautiful steep Fjord. On a moored barge for the night.
