  • Surviving on whale carrion?

    Not quite dusk yet. Up at 5am, there was a storm due so we decided to try a dash. Had a calm 3 hours before the wind started. Landed in Lee Bay. It’s wild here now. Though we’re unlikely to starve as there is a dead whale on the beach!

  • Landing Bay – calm before the storm?

    S45°59.94' E166°28.14'

    Landing Bay after 25km calm day. Didn’t push the 30km more today because strong NE wind due and Justine not feeling 100%. Could be stormy tomorrow, or early rise in order!

  • First day back on water and its a doozy!

    S46°08.58' E166°37.76'

    Rounded Pyusegur Point, hurrah! Covered 70km in 12hrs! Tired, but rare low wind and swell prompted us to take our chance. In hut in stunning fjord. Lie in called for tomorrow!

    Give me a kayak any day! 6hr walk down lovely coastline. Sore hips but energy back! Fueled by great cake from Jaqui. Back in schoolhouse. Will paddle first chance we get.
