What a great thing to happen after the extreme ocean conditions experienced on the Gold Coast earlier this week. With conditions improving over the week we are going to have a great run up the coast to Noosa where our paddling partner Greg leaves us.
Yesterday Greg and I joined Marty at his school St Vincent’s to show the junior school our kayaks and equipment and talk about our trip. We had a great time and absolutely loved the thoughtful, insightful and intelligent questions asked by the students. Afterward we were invited to join Mr Stones (Marty) class for a farewell and early birthday celebration. Sitting on the mat with the hysterically funny six and seven year old made me feel like a great big kid again, there were a few “BFG” (big friendly giant) references made, I must admit I sort of felt like a giant. I had a huge amount of fun with the awesome students and their parents. I look forward to seeing cheeky Charlie and all of her classmates when we return.
I have packed and unpacked so often over the past few days that I must be ready and cannot possibly have missed anything – I know Greg and Marty have been doing the same. Only one more sleep in a comfortable bed…
I will turn on our tracker 7am tomorrow morning. The link is here. DT
