Fred's to Double Is. Trip Log


Trip Log today:

1053/ 0km - launch
1133/3.2km - Nam Fung Kok
1157/5.2km  - Ocean Point (aka Kwun Tsoi Kok)
1230/9km - Bluff Head (aka Wong Chuk Kok)
1243 - break and snacks in sheltered area between Bluff Head and Double Is.

1250 - resume paddling .. oh no, I lost my pencil!
1306/11km - Double Island Tung Wan
1311 - chatted up by foreigners on speed boat.  They fed me a can of pepsi cola.  The way the girls were screaming, you'd think I'm a humpback whale...
1343 - Bluff Head ... and day dreaming.  I bet the cola was spiked
1402/ 14.5km - suddenly notice I was heading into Tolo Harbour, OH NOOOO (change course)

* * * kept stopping to talk to tourists on boats and sport-fishing geeks on shore.  Seriously, do I look like a whale?

1340/ 19.3km - Nam Fung Kok
1615 / 23km - Fred's

Distance = 23km
Duration = 322 minutes (5hr 22 mins)
Average speed = 4.3km/hr O_O

Well okay, I didn't deduct the timeout from my snack/ chatty break, the jump-out 'n reentry toilet break, the breaks I took to bail out water, and the time I wasted losing and recovering my paddle (knot on paddle leash slipped).  But still, 4.3km/hr, that's ... appalling!

I shall go and die in shame now.
