Day 14 - Yellowsands

2 weeks on the sea and over 480 km done!!!!!!

Perfectly on schedule!

Today was a very hard paddle as the current was against Robert, so it took him 7 hours and 30 min to do 35.6 km... The rocks that the prep work had warned Robert about, are apparently not so bad...

Once again Robert is on a very nice beach and he is going to reward himself with a Moroccan lamb meal...

The weather forecast for tomorrow is once again not so good for Robert... Same winds as today:

South Africa - East London (GFS 07.12. 12 UTC, NWW3 07.12. 12 UTC)

Sounds as though you had a mean day - sea looked so calm from the land! Hope the antibiotic is helping for your hands and feet and the heavy paddling did not do more damage. Got some dramatic photos of you going out through the surf which we will let Sylvie have. We're back home again but it was so good to have spent a little time with you at Morgan Bay. Hope the weather improves for you - Cape Town is sizzling and no wind! Thinking of you.
