Day 219 +220, Monday + Tuesday, 24.+25.08.2009

Monday: I woke this morning feeling a little bit less pain, from now on it has to go up again! I had a shower, and am now sitting nice and warm in my bed, still weak, but the flu feeling is less. At least I’ll be able to update today from last Wednesday. Just again […]

Day 218, Sunday, 23.08.2009

I thought you can’t be so sick, try and have a short walk out to the beach. I dressed in 3 layers, really warm enough, but after returning from that 15 min walk I was fully flat. I just jumped into bed and did nothing all day than sleeping and feeling a weak and horrible painful body from […]

I felt a bit better today after sleeping until 9pm, still feeling weak from the flu virus or whatever, at least I was able to update my blog a bit until Tuesday morning of the cliff section. Then I was just sleeping again. Kicked my ass for missing out a relative low wind day. But […]

Feeling sick in my bones today, everything hurts, a bit of temperature, some flu virus took unfortunately over. No paddling tomorrow yet. Just sleeping and relaxing. And I was already guessing after that pampering, relaxing day yesterday with lots of good food I’ll recover soon and very easy…but obviously that flu virus took it’s chance to take […]

The plan of action today was having a good breakfast first. Terry and I were visiting the local “Black Rock Café“, and I had a cheese omelett with fresh mushrooms, a […]

Aussi Scotsman Ken Wilson greeting me at the beach (Picture by Terry Bolland) The upcoming dawn was such a relief! Eventually I could *see* the cliffs and their luckily still safe distance again, and my balancing skills on paddling were fully recovered in the big stuff. I didn’t feel much tiredness now, the light is simply […]

Day 213, Tuesday, 18.08.2009

Launching this morning was a bit wet, as I stupidly timed it not perfect through the moderate breakers. At least it woke me up! I didn’t really like the almost overcasted sky, as I was aware I won’t have any moon during the night. So I was hoping at least for some stars on the […]

Paddling into False Entrance, Dulverton Bay I was not too much in a hurry launching this morning, as I had “only” 40 km to go to Dulverton Bay. But I was underway as usual at 7.30. As Terry took all my camping gear in his car, heading for Dulverton Bay, It was the very first […]
