Day 8 – Launceston to Low Head
Charles was on the eater before sun up today to ensure he work his run back up the Tamar in with the out going tide.
The 61 kms of river paddling provides for an interesting day on the water, although the need to keep the tide working for him meant that there was very little time for anything other than pushing on.
Interestingly Charles worked out that he did approximately 30,000 paddle strokes to complete today's leg.
