We got going heading north along the coast.\u00a0 As we headed north we entered a large bay that ran between north of Yangie Bay to Eely point. Once we got to the southern part of the bay I had to pull in to see if I could fix my rudder. My rudder played up the whole trip, jamming and making it difficult to steer. I made the rudder a little bit better, and we headed straight north across the bay towards Eely point. This was our first experience with the fickle weather of Coffin Bay. Once we got about halfway across the bay, this northerly sprung up, and battered us with wind and steep, sharp waves. We paddled and paddled but I started watching landmarks on the shore, and realised we were not moving north at all. I said to Karen, lets paddle straight west to the shore and stop for lunch.<\/p>\n

We stopped for lunch under the shade of a tree, because it was hot. After maybe an hour the wind completely stopped and we paddled north again in almost complete calm. We were aiming for Black Springs campsite where we had another booking, but there was no way we were going to make it. We stopped at a little bay north of Eely point, where we saw a dolphin cruising past. We made camp.<\/p>\n
