A long day with following winds 15-20 kn from the back quarter section, so I always had to make sure not to get blown out to sea…but no problem. Still quite draining…
More of a problem is that I’m not paddling too hard when it’s following winds and fall asleep too easy… 🙂

Not much to see today on the coastline,only one (probably) Prefectura car with flashing light in Mar del Sur watching the sea (me???), and then no more humans besides one single person on the beach and a huge ship and two trawlers way out on the sea.

But there was again one whale, this time in the distance spouting and showing his back and fin, two small dolphins close to shore and three seals…well, and the reef…almost all along the sandy dune coast now is a reef which proves impossible to land on low tide.
Fortunately when I wanted eventually to land it was high tide enough to be floating just about over it…but there were lots of wrecks and metal pieces on this beach…other boats need more water under the keel…

My exit was a bit inelegant, as I got stuck about a meter or so before the sandy beach on the last bit of (luckily soft…) reef, I jumped out of the boat and forgot that you can usually walk on the reef, but in between the reef pieces it can be quite deep water…not that I didn’t have that already in Australia…
A small wave washed my kayak up the sandy beach, and I was hanging on to it and slid on my stomach in the shallow water out of my reef trap…well, with bad luck this can break your legs. But I’m always a lucky girl!

18 km left to Necochea – see how the weather is tomorrow, forecast again are following winds, which I feel I neef to make the most out of…maybe I have only a brief stop to fill up with water…though it seems that half the town is expecting me…we’ll see!
