The sea was rougher this morning. I had breakfast, packed and launched. It was a somewhat more difficult launch because of the waves, but after two attempts I got out.
Out in the water I had 0.5 m waves and some wind. I had to go out a couple of hundred metres because I had to get past the Klein point port and loading facility as they had a ship docked. I was travelling along cliffs there was nowhere to land. A bit further on I stopped at Wool Bay where there seemed to be a lot of people walking along the beach. I stopped at the boat ramp for a rest and stretch.
Onward south I went under the Port Giles jetty and loader, no ships docked here. I got to Giles Point, stopped for another stretch, ready for the crossing of MacDonnell Sound. It was about a 5km crossing of the sound, and I had to aim for something. So I aimed for a water tower that I thought was in Edithburgh, however I was to later find it was a long way from the caravan park I was aiming for. As I crossed the sound the wind picked up, as it does every afternoon here. I made it to the other shore to find I still had 2km to go to the caravan park. It was a difficult paddle against the wind, I estimated I was only doing 2kmh. I got to the other side of the boat ramp, and landed. I went to the office of the Caravan Park to see how close I could get a campsite to where the kayak was. They only had one free but I could get there via a back gate. So I paddled out again to get to the rear of the caravan park, when half way along my GoPro and mount broke off and disappeared into the water. I felt that maybe at low tide I could come back and look for it
I landed, and with a few trips transferred from my gear into the spot I was allocated in the park. I walked into the IGA in town to get some supplies. I was very, very tired, and I had very sore arms. Not many pictures because the GoPro is in Davey Jones locker.
