A long hard day today!
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 02, 2008
Paddled 65km's today. The river was jam packed with boats becuase of the long weekend in Victoria this weekend and Melbourne Cup activities. From Moama it was like rush hour on the River.
It rained hard for at least an hour which was great for the farmers but not good for me. Then there was a big head wind, so hard paddling.
The Barmah Forrest is beautiful, and this part of the river is very different than every where else so far, although today it was an average day, it's still a great adventure.
No exciting stories expect that a big brown bear jumped out of the Barmarah Forrest and tried to attack me. It was stopped by a Japanese tiger who lept over from the other side of the bank and faught it off for me. They were both eventually frightened away by a Unicorn.
We have paddled 142 km's in two days, and we're going to get up and leave at 4am so that we can miss the River traffic!
Just had a shower and shave and noticed that I am doing Movember without even realising it! See, I can grow facial hair!!! It's the first time I've had a shower or sat on a toilet in 4 days!
I smell nice right now, but have to put back on my smelly clothes in the morning - so that feeling won't last long!
