It’s another one of those days when I’m doing something I don’t really feel like doing. Briefly I wonder how many of these days there are in the average week and consider noting them down in my training log but then decide it would be depressing to find out that five out of seven days I’m heading out to do something I don’t really want to do. It’s probably better not to know.
We are heading south at a rate that is too fast for my paddling effort, we are going to pay for this northerly current. It’s bumpy and I feel queasy all the way to our turn around point. There are dolphins at the mouth of Sunshine Bay, a whale in the bay north of Burrewarra Point, and seals around Burrewarra Point resting, as they do, in the break zone.
On long training days I like to schedule our land break after we pass the half way point in the paddle. Today we are paddling 30 kilometres so around 20 kilometres is a good time to stop. At south Rosedale, the odometer ticks over 19 kilometres so we stop for a break. North from Rosedale, the easterly wind has ticked up and it’s a bumpy paddle all the way back to our home bay. Current and wind, clapotis and chop. It’s good to finish the day.
