  • 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.

  • Barry catches tiddler

    Went fishing with new friends this afternoon. Barry caught a 15kg Grouper! We’re about to eat it. Had crayfish first. Really fun day. Happy birthday to Barry’s mum and son Adam.
