I actually can’t remember much about that day besides being another easy 70 km paddle along a sandy reefy beach with low following wind. I could land easy for a pee or for some snacks on piles of seaweed.

Greg drove down the track to Noonaera, where there were some ruins and a rockhole (well) with fresh water. We went for a quick drive inland to check on them. Nice to see!
