Solo Surfski Around South Africa · Day 43
Summer Strand to Sundays River
27 December 2012 · 34km, 3hrs 20min
A straightforward paddle – head across the bay and follow the GPS heading. Not much happening out in the middle of Nelson Mandela Bay, though I saw dolphins playing around St Croix Island and passed two ships at anchor waiting their turn at the harbour.
Coming ashore at the river mouth could have been tricky at spring low tide, but staying clear of the fast-flowing river mouth itself made it straightforward. Had to portage the boat 400m to the Land Rover – more Dusi training. Tomorrow is a big one to Boknes, seven hours on the water.
