As if it were a reward on our last day we were
greeted by blue sky and silky still waters. Our
final hurdle was crossing a wide open gulf but in
this weather is was a total pleasure. Fishing boats
tooted and waved as we approached the fishing
harbour and it felt as if word had got around of
our travels (although that may have been my
imagination). Stepping out of our boats to take in
our first taste of civilisation in weeks, was mindblowing. People, roads, cars and buildings
overwhelmed our senses and a feeling of utter
achievement soon flooded our bodies.

Its almost unbelievable to me that a journey I’d
dreamt up, just by looking at a map, was now
engraved into my memory as life changing
experience. It is crazy to think of the amount of
wilderness you can explore from a kayak and I
can’t help but think this will not be my last sea
kayaking expedition.
