I was aiming to look for my dropped GoPro at low tide hoping it would be low enough at 11am. Also I had communicated with Mike an old friend who lived in Edithburgh, who was going to help me look. The tide at 11am was not low enough, so I would have to wait until 1pm. I tried looking then wading through the seaweed, and what I thought would be simple, was really hard. There was so much seaweed that if it dropped into it, it would be impossible to see. Mike came and looked, but in the rain we still could not see it. We went for a drive the along the South coast looking at where I wanted to paddle. It was pretty windy. Some bits are not bad, but the section around Troubridge lighthouse needs perfect weather. Next morning Mike came down with his trailer and we took the kayak and my gear to Mike&#8217;s house where I will be staying for a few days until the weather improves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-93\" src=\"http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-1024x771.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-300x226.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-768x578.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260222_223811485-1200x904.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kayak tied up near the fishermans jetty while I stayed at the caravan park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95\" src=\"http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-1024x771.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-300x226.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-768x578.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/gregspurgin.net\/kayak-yorke-peninsula\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PXL_20260223_032201557.MP_-1200x904.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looking for the GoPro amongst the seaweed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was strange being in a caravan park after days camped alone on beaches.
