Almost half way!!!!!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2008

I paddled 40km's today with my fellow paddlers.  It was a hot day, about 35. 

I got into Robinvale and went and had a massage, as I was in a fair amount of discomfort with my hamstrings from sitting still in the boat for so long.  I feel much better now!  Pete,Nicky and myself then went and had thai food for dinner, so a good meal was much appreciated.  I will miss them, as I am back to paddling alone from tomorrow.  I wish them well on the rest of their journey! 

We managed to find a 12km short cut today so that helped us get into town early.  We are staying at the Robinvale Riverside Caravan Park tonight.

I am camping on my own tomorrow in the middle of the nowhere with a full moon, so it should be an interesting night!

I reach another mile stone tomorrow at about 10am, I reach the half way mark.  That puts me a full 3 days ahead of schedule so far, and that means I should be 5 days ahead by the time I get closer to home.  I will then slow down so that I can reach Mannum at the right time for United 4 A Wish.

I am still getting lots of messages and calls, which is great!

I hope everyone's well and the fundraising is going well in Adelaide!!

Scottie.
