What a day!
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 03, 2008
Today was the most difficult day so far!
We left at 6am from Echuca to miss the boat traffic. Echuca is beautiful, and seeing the Port with all the Paddle Steamers was fantastic, although it was really busy due to the long weekend this weekend. An hour or two into paddling the river bacme packed with boats again.
I paddled through absolute massive head winds the entire day long, and for most of it didn't seem to be moving!
Much to my amazement we travelled almost 70km's, so the hard work was worth it!
We are now about 10k east of Torrubary Weir, and should hopefully reach there in the morning.
Near the end of the day, it was all made better due to a friendly group of young lads who found me on the water and asked what I was doing. They then invited me to their campsite, fed me, watered me and even gave me a massage. They made a horrible day end on a good note so thanks so much to Sam and the crew!
I am really missing my dog, and would just love to be home on my lounge with him tonight! I hope he's well and missing me too!
Scottie.
