It was a great campsite at Davenport Point. I woke up to calm water but an easternly wind that might be good for my kayak sail. I was slow to get moving, partly because the sun gets up so late now. I got going at 10am, and put the sail up straight away. I was getting about 3kph, so with paddling on top of that, I was making a good pace. I basically paddled straight across Foul Bay, landing on the far side north of the settlement at around noon for a break.<\/p>\n

The wind then changed to the north allowing me to then sail south past the Foul Bay township. The wind was stronger from the north, pushing me along at maybe 6kph. So fast that I couldn’t paddle, I needed my paddle to act as a rudder to stay the right direction. I stopped again south of Foul Bay township to see what camping options I had. It looked like there was a beach a little way south. It was getting windier, and it was 3pm, I didn’t want to attempt the exposed part of Point Mole and west late in the afternoon. I got around a point and there were several beaches to choose from. I did about 17km today.<\/p>\n
