Day 25, Burnie to Sisters Creek

Today we were greeted with conditions that promised to make our 40km journey quiet pleasant, a gentle NE wind and a clear sky. Just for something different today the weather didn't change three times, so we were able to take advantage of the following sea for the whole paddle.

Our first stop was Boat Harbour Beach, which is a wonderful spot indeed with it's white sand and crystal clear water. As we discovered it also has very generous people, maybe the environment brings out the best in them. On our arrival our ground support meet us along with quiet a number of members of the surf club – who kindly put over $100 towards our cause.

After a chat with a reporter from the Advocate Newspaper, and photo or ten, we finished off the final 8kms of the paddle, "just around the corner" into Sister Creek.
