and the skipper having a well deserved glass of wine after a hard day of skippering!
Chris hitching a ride.... actually waiting for lunch to be served!And part of the support crew, Pat and Nev, out reconoitering the river.....
And the last photo... The lifevest is getting too small for Chris..!?
Day 5 is slowly beginning. We're having coffee - lots of it, & Chris is making porridge, he wakes up starving every morning, even after our rather big dinners...., so he must be expending some energy doing all this paddling! He's doing very well, we're all proud of his efforts.
We're slowly making our way back to Echuca now, estimating to be back there on Sunday night. Chris will paddle upstream on Monday as well, to ensure he makes up his target of 160km.
The support crew is having a wonderful time on the houseboat, the weather is being kind, we're on the top deck sunning ourselves as the kookaburras are laughing at us as we're passing by. Hege has just gotten the hang of manoeuvring the houseboat... just in time for handing it back in!! Updates on the day will follow later, for now, here are some photos.....
