Late update today as I am down at Mt Maunganui competing at the Northern Regional Surf Lifesaving Championships and the interest shown by the clubbies on the beach has been huge. Everywhere I went on the beach people were asking after Shaun and wanting to know how he was doing!
Yesterday Shaun “hammered it”, striking off many nautical miles and was feeling extremely positive. Although today his progress was brought to an abrupt halt due to the easterly winds. Shaun’s outlook however was “guess you’ve gotta take the good with the bad” which shows that he is still mentally sound.
One highlight yesterday was the bird who hung out on Shaun’s solar panel for about 2 hours hitching a ride east!
Also, today he threw over a fishing line but unfortunately got no bites, even from his four fish friends under the boat. Probably a good thing since later in the trip he will no doubt be appreciating the company!
