Day 4 9-16-08 Day 11 nm Cum. 32.5 nm
10:30 Launch at Fae-Bainbridge
2:45 Land Eglon
I was really tired last night, went to bet at 8:00 and slept until 7:30. Deb Natelson joined me today for the paddle to Port Townsend. It took me 3 hours to get launched so we only had 2 hours of favorable tides. Afterward we fought tides and head with until we gave up at 2:45. I felt very weak today. We needed a break and stopped at Elgon. As we were going slowly and still had a long way to go before Fort Flagler, we talked with a couple of fisherman about potential camp sites closer, and confirmed there really was nothing. A neighbor (Susan) overheard us and came over to invite us to camp on her lawn. What a nice lady and a generous invitation. So we took her up on the invite and set up camp.
