thumb_sea_161Today was our last day on the water, we woke up on our paradise beach to find a crime had been comitted Stan was dead !! Stan was the latrine trowel an inquest later found that in an act of cruelty Len had snapped him in two his plea was that the ground was hard but the jury found him guilty of trowelcide of the 1st degree.

We had an early start as the forecast was for the wind to blow from the North again which would mean another hard paddle, much to our delight and suprise the wind came from the south which meant that we could sail for most of the way.  We covered the final 20km in about 4 hours and though we tried to arouse the monster with the Nessie dance she didnt appear.

The journey back to Ghyll Head took about 6 hours seeing the centre provided a mix of emotions it marked the end of the road journey which was great but also brought home the reality that our Expedition was coming to an end. The whole team agree that this has been a pretty special experience staff included, hopefully its one that will not be forgotton.
