As Rob has mentioned today was a little foggy to start with but a good 5 hour paddle to get the blood flowing and clear the mind a little was a welcomed distraction.
We were paddling with the wind behind us today which in most cases is quite good to push you along but with 2 metre swell and hidden bombies (little reefs in the middle of the ocean where waves will build and break suddenly) appearing it was quite a trying and at times scary paddle. With the constant fear of sharks after the first 2 we sighted within 5 minutes of each other the senses were switched on as neither of us wanted to capsize in the middle of the ocean. Its funny when you see one shark as you then constantly keep seeing more and more sharks out of the corner of your eyes, if these sharks are there is another matter but for a split second you see that fin and then again and again....
Not much else to report but I am looking forward to a nice early night and hopefully waking up with a more positive outlook in the morning.
Peace,
Scott.

Nearly there boys! Just looked at the news pic - I see why the sharks are interested - with your rapidly intensifying beards, you are looking more and more like seals....
Hope the rest goes well and you dont get any southerlies. Take care and happy paddling.

Godspeed boys, look how far you've come! Top effort. Just remember, sharks hate the taste of human flesh.
