A new record was set  for the day. We covered 46 km but it was not all plain 'paddling'. The wind changed direction from the east to the west and it was pretty rough. But, in the back of our minds we still think of the people who would benefit from the Dare to Dream   project.

 We covered about 30 km before we had lunch. Late afternoon we saw a number of people on a stretch of beach who waved us to join them. They pulled us from the water and the dynamics that took place was tremendous. They saw us as one of them because we arrived in a human powered boat. They would not accept any numeration for the fish and pap (mealie meal/corn porridge) that was offered to us.  They are very poor people,but, willing to share what they have. This is another lesson from life, from the people of Karema.

Tonight we are on  a small stretch of sand, enjoying a tot of Famous Grouse. A small luxury we promised ourselves for every 35 km completed during any day.

We made a mistake in our report last night as we were at Utinta and not Kabwa. The distance covered  though, is correct
