Left Echuca late after some scrambled eggs from the Black Pudding Cafe and some purchases from Aldi. Said my goodbyes to Aaron and Andy and headed off. Paddle steamers were maneuvering.
Had a chat to a young guy attempting to travel to Adelaide in a small sailing skiff with a sheet of ply screwed to the gunwales with a tent on the ply. He was on the bow rowing against the wind with little success. I congratulated him on his adventurism and left. We need more people like him. Having a crack at it. While he was talking to me he was figuring out how to get around the problems. I must admit he had a few, but I left pretty impressed.
Campsite tonight is pretty good. It has a kitchen stump and a clothes stump and a platform for the tent. Just a little grass and it would be perfect.
Slow day and a shorter distance. Had a proper lunch break Lot of sailing today.
Tomorrow will be close to the first lock.

Looks like a good spot. It seems like travelling to Adelaide on the river is becoming a bit passé, before you get much further it will be like Bourke St. How’s the sail working out for you? Seems like you are using it a bit, do you get much speed?
