Patto and Scottie V the wind - Winner....Scottie and Patto!!!

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2008

We've fought a huge head wind since about 10am this morning, and it was even worse than yesterday, it was hell paddling!

Today we went into a town called Old Costoms House which has nothing but a store!  We bought a bottle of wine, to celebrate our arrival into South Australia, but due to the weather that celebration is looking doubtful!

We have just made camp (8.05pm), and the wind is still really blowing a gail.  Huge thunders storm clouds coming over our heads, so I don't think we're going to get dinner, cos I think we're going to be rained on!

We passed through lock 6 today and we are here, very sore and very tired, just looking foward to getting into Renmark tomorrow!

Anyone who's text or left a message for me, sorry but I haven't had phone signal for 5 days, and that's me a person who lives and breathes on the phone, but I'm doing OK without it......  It's actually been quite nice!

We've pushed on and paddled 58km's today, so not a bad effort!

Scottie.
