Day 22 enroute to Robinvale

1160 kilometres from the mouth.

Got away at daylight for a change.  3 guys were camped across the river from the boat ramp with two aluminium boats.  They caught me up later and we exchanged plans.  They are headed all the way and left Albury about  9 days ago.
Large reaches and no wind  in the morning.  All paddling.  About 2 pm the northerly came in at a blast.  Some of the reaches into the wind were a serious test but sometimes I got a free ride downhill afterwards.
Went through a fairly passive cutting at the end of the day and found a camp at about 6pm.
Some construction guys were installing a pump and as it turned out are beekeepers as well.  They interrupted their 100k journey home to Mildura to give me this.
There always has been something missing in the porridge in the morning.

While we are on  food here is dinner.  Protein,  vitamins and minerals, all you need as quickly as possible.

The good thing is the camp is close to the water.

Hard going today

  1. Hi Peter, You must be getting close to the half-way point. Well done so far. I’m a bit envious that I’m not out there ticking another one off the bucket list as well. Tomorrow will be my first day sailing since my October happening. I’ll introduce the crew to your blog. Cheers Chris W

  2. Looks like you have had a big day, good to find such a great spot so late in the day. Honey looks good and good tucker for tea. How bout a full length selfie to show off the new svelte Peter?
