We managed to repair the kayak to the extent that the leaks stopped, except when  waves brake  over the kayak. This happened this afternoon when we had a strong wind from ahead with chest high waves. This will be fixed but we are running out of silicon. The last two hours of paddling today we managed only about 10 km.

The shore was very rocky today and it was a challenge to find a spot to stop. Lunch, soup and some dried fruit, was enjoyed on a small sandy spot. We met one of the locals who gave us a fish for tonight. This  very kind man would not accept any money, and, we eventually departed after giving him a cap.

Tonight it was obviously fish and, (not chips),  a Safari Lager, which we bought at the small village where we are camping. The Safari Lager is from  Louis's previous employer, Tanzanian Breweries. 

We are tired tonight, but we are planning to reach Kipili by Sunday afternoon, about 100 km from Kirambo. 

Distance covered   35 km        Total distance   83 km

Hang in there guys, your distance per day is picking up despite the trouble with leaks. Seems as if the wind and waves will be your biggest challenge. Good luck.
