We've arrived at the start of the 25km section of rapids on the Slave River. The weather has been pleasantly warm though the water speed has slowed down.

Tony and I are wanting to do differnt things at this section, I want to portage and Tony wants to get a lift. For me, my expeditions are about pushing myself and doing it without any vehicle assistance and so I can't see myself accepting a lift. At this stage we're discussing just how this portage is going to work for each of our needs.

I'm looking to do the portage tomorrow so stay tuned to see how we've resolved this issue!!

I can't believe how quickly time has come for the 'girls' to join us, Leonie has already left Perth and is now in Sweden catching up with her son. Alaine is still at work, coping with organising the end of financial year stock take, group certificates as well as getting the quarterly BAS statement finalised. When I think about it, Tony and I left just at the right time!
