A long deserved sleep in the Killiecranke campground and we woke up to the smell of frying bacon wafting down from Charlie's Cafe. We wandered up for a meal with our fellow paddlers from Perth whom we'd crossed paths with on Deal and Hogan Islands. We were looking forward to a rest day to check out the sites of North Flinders although Reece was quick to crack the whip to keep pushing down the coast. We made the most of the outgoing tide and cruised around past Royden Island and into a healthy head wind down to Emita. What was supposed to be a lazy afternoon paddle ended up being a 5hr slightly energetic afternoon.
The afternoon wasn't all hard work. Danni was there to meet us and take us all into Whitemark pub for a beer and feed. Unfortunately there is not as many alcoholics on the island as we'd hoped and the pub doors were closed by 6pm with no food on Sundays. On to the golf club for a delicious home cooked meal and a couple of beers.
