After returning back to Adelaide for 3 weeks, I returned to Edithburgh on Yorke Peninsula to continue my trip from Sturt Bay. Michael kindly allowed me to stay the night, and after a long morning of me sorting out my gear , we headed out to Sturt Bay. After driving on the beach, getting bogged, and having to drop tyre pressure to get off. As well as spending a long time trying to pack the kayak, I finally got going at 1:18pm.<\/p>\n

There was a small amount of chop which moderated as the day went on. It was about 10km to Davenport point. When<\/p>\n

I rounded the point I finally had a chance to try my new sail. However the wind had moderated so much I only got about 2kph out of it. I paddled\/sailed another 1km and at 5pm stopped at a great campsite.<\/p>\n
