sunday 15th jan.

Just returned from traversing able Tasman national park coast. First day by sea kayak with instructor, rest of group all Germans! went into some very choppy water, then camped at bay. Second day on our own progressing around to next camp sight, began well calm voyage around sandy bays, bit of trepidation as we went around foul point but managed to negotiate the rocks well. however, into next section north came the wind from the north west, very strong pushing us right however hard we paddled and steered left, but in true spirit we conquered the course and made it to bay as planned. next day walk and water taxi back. keith even quite enjoyed the camping and cooked our meals on the camping stove, as a treat now spending night in cabin. heading up towards farewell spit tomorrow.
