Iskanga Bay-6km south of theTanzanian border.

Last night  we stayed over at a lodge in Mpulungu where "long drops" are still in use. (you smell it before you see it). We got up early and started packing the kayak which proved to be difficult and cumbersome. Some of the stuff had to be tied to the top of the kayak. Both the backpacks are full, and on our backs. You can visualize a taxi with a ventertjie on its way to Zimbabwe.  Fortunately we will have less as time goes by. Then we went to a clinic where a number of mosquito nets were handed out to desperate mothers with children. Again we realized how fortunate in life some of us are. A big thank you again to First Ascent for their kind donation. Please follow up on our Sponsor Llist. Then there was the formal formalities to get your passport stamped etc.. Even traveling by kayak on open waters requires it.
After about 3 hours paddling we reached Iskanga Bay. We will stay over at a much better equipped lodge about 6 km short of the Tanzanian border. Along the way we encountered many shoals of small fish, Kapenta (Tanganyika sardine), jumping out of the water alongside the kayak. It was a relatively easy row and it should improve every day as we progress and get more paddling fit.

Distance covered today   18 km   Total distance  18 km

Hey Guys
Just a wee bit worried that you only did 18km and not 30 as you had planned on your first day.
Age catching up, or what?!
What's the weather like en route? And the environment?
Watch out for the sharks and have fun in the sun
