Day 13 enroute to Barham

1584 kilometres from the mouth.

Charged everything I could in  the time I had and left the Torrumberry Weir caravan park just before 10 to make my appointment with the lock master.  Waited for a bit in the lock entrance basin and after he turned up the gates opened just wide enough for me to paddle through.  He took my name and then I dropped about 6 meters.  A bit faster than I expected.  The front gate opened and out I went.


Bit of current and wind.  Lots of campers on the banks.  Fishermen and families and no ski boats.  Surprising how many people considering its a bit out of the way. The water is more murky.


Today I struggled with pain and energy.  Yesterday was tough and it told today.
Barham is at 1524 k so that gives me 60 tomorrow or a 40 and a 20 for  the next day. Just have to see how I feel. Prefer to do it in one hit and rest the next day.
Marginal phone reception since Pericotta which chews up battery.
