Hi guys I finished my kayak around Tiri. Friday 18 June we woke up early and it was a mill pond out on the water so mum said "take the morning off school and complete your challenge". We headed off from Army Bay at 7am , sea conditions were perfect and we landed at shakespear at 10.30am. 20kms in 3 1/2 hours and I was stoked. I felt very tired and had a sore bottom.
