Time to get some supplies. Coffin Bay only has a small selection for emergencies so it’s off to Port Lincoln. Apart from walking the supermarket isles we just took a short walk around Coffin Bay town tonight at 8pm – too hot 36 again

10th Jan

lovely rain as we woke up. Oh, SH one T – just about to leave to play golf and water coming in the front of the van. Large crack down the sunroof front window. Head off to golf – decide to sort the problem on return

Neither of us were outstanding but enjoyed the walk – especially being pulled uphill by our new battery trolley!! Temp rose to 31 so only did 9 holes today.

Back at caravan Ollie was about to get on van roof to “duck tape” window – young chap opposite quick as a flash got his ladder and had it done for us. Thanks Russ.

   Decide to blow up Kayak and take it out. Head for Yangie Bay in Coffin National Park. As we’re driving temp starts rising. 34 – no breeze and no shade in the bay. Change of ideas – head to Point Avoid to picnic and paddle on foot in the cool water

   Our day in photos – Here’s my commenentary – WOW, AMAZING, OH MY GOD, BEAUTIFUL, WOW, WOW, WOW. Just 15k from Yangie Beach but temp dropped to 25 at Point Avoid!!!!!!
