All hard work returns dividends.

The start of today saw us with the most complex launch of the trip. It was complex as we were paddling out of an estuary on an outgoing tide, punching over a bar with metre waves breaking whilst avoiding a large number of trees which were embedded in the estuary – yes my definition of fun. Our 38 km run up the coast was fairly hard work with a good breeze at our backs with a 1.2m ish rolling swell which gave us a serious case of waggly backside, of course this means the back of the kayak keeps being picked up and turned from one side to the other.
We were rewarded with our first jaw dropping landscape in two days when we rounded the headland into 1770. I am surprised Captain Cook actually left this place after discovering it. If I had been him I would have beached the Endeavour and retired. 

We have entered a beautiful area and cannot wait to see what the coming days bring. We are both doing well physically and the remoteness is bring out our inner comedians – everyone should buy a kayak and paddle into 1770. It should be placed top ten on any bucket list. Bring on tomorrow.DT.
