I spent four days at Mike’s place in Edithburgh while the wind blew. Eventually on Friday it had calmed down and I could continue on south. When Mike had finished his morning bus driving job he got back and we headed down to the boat ramp. I had less gear, because I had left some behind at Mike’s place. The weather window was only 3 days, after that it was going to blow again for another two days, and by then I would be out of time. So Sunday night was the end, and I only took enough stuff to last me to Sunday night.<\/p>\n

I left the boat ramp and headed out into the bay. It was a bit windy, but a I could make good progress against it. I made it around Sultana point, and got into the protected water between the shore and the sand bar. I stopped for lunch on the sand at 1pm. I continued west past Wattle point campground. I was aiming for Goldsmith campground, but the water was too low so I stopped on the beach about 800m short.\u00a0 I set up camp on the beach. The road is quite close, but I don’t think anyone can see me However I am very close to one of the wind generators.<\/p>\n
