All went smooth this morning – getting up 2.45 am, leaving with the boat at 3 45 am, starting paddling at 4.50 am. Low winds, smooth seas, turning to moderate head winds and a light chop. The cape was breezy, but calm. Nothing exciting, but a bit of an effort after six days off! The worst was getting back to my trip food again – I can’t stand my breakfast nor my available snacks any more…but I have to eat. The yummy food with a lot of change and choice in the mining canteen spoiled me the last days! Fortunately we stopped just across “home” and I could have another big lunch at the canteen. For dinner, I was still too full and rather went to bed already…

After 30 km at 11 am, I decided to stop, with wind now around 15 knots and some white caps coming up. 160 km are left to the boarder, and the forecast of the next days is easier than even today. So about 40 km each day or a little more, this will be doable!

And soon I’ll be in my real HOME again for a while!!! 🙂
