DAY 7 - Bastion to Horseshoe Island. On water at 9:20 am. Stopped for day at 3 pm. Up at 9, stuffed tent in the bag, skipped breakfast and coffee and jumped on the water.

DAY 8 - Horseshoe Island to Warm Bay. Departed 09:30 am, landed 12:20 pm. Really calm and cool to start but got warmer.

So lucky to be here. (...)
