I think I was lucky that when high tide happened at 6am it was flat calm. If there had been waves I think my tent would have been under water.<\/p>\n<p>I got going by 9:15am on a very calm ocean. It was 6km down to Port Vincent. I passed by the Port Vincent Marina, it didn&#8217;t have many boats in it. I think boating around here would be hard. The tides are about twice as high as the other side of the gulf, and when it&#8217;s low tide it&#8217;s very, very shallow, that even a sea kayak has problems getting around. I landed at Port Vincent and found the water tap and loaded more water. I then went to the local IGA and got some banana&#8217;s and an apple ( I just couldn&#8217;t fit things like that in my kayak).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I got going again and then spent a frustrating hour trying to get around the low tide exposed areas east of Port Vincent. Eventually I got south of it. I stopped for late lunch just south of Port Vincent. I headed south and stopped in at Devil Gully which has a shelter for the Walk the Yorke. It was a good beach but I kept going for another 2km to Deep Gully. Camping wasn&#8217;t fantastic, but at least I got get well above the high tide mark. I did 15km today. I planned this trip thinking I could do 20km per day, but I am way behind schedule already.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53\" style=\"width:
