After four days at Woolgoolga, hiding from the wind and rain that has been belting in from the south, the weather finally looks like taking a favourable turn.
Windguru.com suggests northerly winds will be blowing from sunrise and peaking at around 12knots throughout the day.
So all the kayaks are packed, ready to go at first light.
Besides dragging the crafts down to the water’s edge, the only thing left to do is put on our wetsuits and add hot water to our thermos’s. There’s nothing like chugging down a laksa or hot noodles two k’s out to sea …

With an average of 20km’s a day needed to reach Bondi by November 5th, a big day is required to keep us on target.

The longest leg brought us ashore at Woolgoolga on Day 8 – 78km, nine hours at sea (including a surf!),
If we can reach South West Rocks by Monday evening it will be the most distance covered in one day since leaving Byron on October 1st. 100km!

Del Moro: “These past few days have been a bit like a clip from Groundhog Day. We’ve been stuck, held back by the southerly buster. I’m so excited to move, we’re ready to fly down the coast. We’ll be pushing the envelope, trying to do a 100 kilometre day. That’s a big challenge. It’s exciting.”

So blow, kind northerly, blow …
