  • Day 10 – Day of rest

    Had a rest day today. Nice friend Ian visited and had a lovely tea at Fleurs Restaurant. Going back for staff tea tonight. Hoping to paddle tomorrow with renewed energy.

  • Day 9 – Half Day from Moeraki Harbour

    S45°21.60' E170°51.06'

    Now 32km from Moeraki Harbour. Wind with swell behind and more southerly winds due. Stretch coming up with no good landings for quite some distance so will probably put in a half day. Likely to rest tomorrow. Campsite pretty, paddlers tired!
