Camping at Waipapa Point on the Catlins Coast. Paddled 52km with tide against us most of the day. There were tide races round the headlands. An Albatross landed only 1m away from the kayaks. Was a colder day today with low cloud. Hoping to reach Bluff tomorrow if good weather.

Arrived on the Tuatuku Peninsula after 38km paddle with lots of surfing. Nearly wiped out by a breaking wave off Nugget Point shortly after setting out. Albatross came very close. Had a good landing.

Arrived at Nugget Point after 8 hours and 59km paddling. Lots of fast surfing, conditions were quite rough. Looked for the breakwater at Nugget Point but couldn’t find it so landed on a pretty beach through small surf.

Covered 48km on what was a hot and surprisingly calm day today. Launched through small surf, but had a sheltered landing in the mouth of the Taieri River.
