A curious spectator at Morgans Beach
Participants - Cory, Eddie, Simon, Nick & Scot
Support Crew - Gerald, Bruce, Marg, Ron, Carmel & Eliza
After two days in the Kayaks the boys started to get a bit more hardened to the challenge each day. Scot & Nick decided to try out the bigger sea kayak to assist Nick's gluteous maximus issues. It is much heavier and vessel and got a taste of what Simon, Cory and Eddie have to deal with each day.
We switched from muesli bars to bbq shapes and that lifted the morale, and possibly performance.
By lunch time Scot & Nick decided they had had enough of the comfort kayak and switched back to the TK2 (paddle pops). A kayaking 'expert' called it a bath tub, but nick and scot see it as a hot tube time machine.
The water got deeper and therefore got heavier. It was a shorter distance today but we worked very hard. A gut busting last 20km for everyone. Conversation highlights today were: Highest selling albums, One hit wonders and Scot was following Nick's Twitter like updates every two minutes. The course took us past Moira Lake and where the Goulburn River joins the Murray. The banks of the river were more lush, with reeds growing along the whole way. Almost tropical. We had showers at the Echuca YMCA and rewarded ourselves with Pizza for dinner, but don't tell our dietician.
