Thought it was going to be an easy day today so had a sleep in and read my book on the river bank this morning which was nice. Turned out to be a tough day as there was no flow in the river and head winds.
Went through the Torumbarry Weir lock this afternoon. The Lockmaster was a nice bloke, bringing me out some fresh water and an update on the river flows. The lock is an enormous concrete chamber, dropping you down 6 metres quite quickly, with much associated turbulence which was nerve wracking.
Downstream of the weir is much better. No boats, no people, lots of wildlife.

TravelerGreat commentary so far with some excellent photos. Just like being there (without the aching shoulders and back).
TravelerThanks Pat. Don't think I'm ever going to be a professional blogger, but I have quite enjoyed jotting down the events of each day. Hope you're well btw and constantly recalibrating that work / life balance.
