I wasn’t very fast getting going, mostly because the forecast was as the day progressed the swell was going to decrease, and I needed it to decrease to launch off the beach. At 10am I left, I still managed to catch a wave and take on water, but I pumped it out, raised my sail and I was in my way<\/p>\n

I knew the weather was going to deteriorate around lunchtime, and I was looking for a place away from Marion Bay township that I could camp at. So I landed about 4km to the east, and found a spot sheltered in the sand dunes. I then put lots of stuff out to dry on the bushes, and headed off to walk the 5km along the beach into Marion Bay. I went to the general store and got some supplies. I want to stay in this spot for two days while bad weather goes past. I only bought 8 days of food so I need to supplement it to stretch my supplies<\/p>\n
