After two days camped on the beach in very windy weather, including breaking a pole on my tent, it was time to decide whether to proceed. I needed to get around Cape Spencer and West Point. The Cape Spencer section was 14km with no landing, very exposed. I felt the weather had to be perfect. The forecast for that section was a moderate northerly wind, which I would be paddling against. The northerly wind would continue for a least three days while I paddled north up the coast.
So I decided to abandon my trip again. I just didn’t feel it was safe enough. Hopefully to be continued at a later date. I loaded up and paddled sailed the 5km to the Marion Bay boat ramp.
