Hadas and Tomer in Newfoundland

So we are now only 3 paddling days away from the finish. After finally leaving the south coast and a very long time of paddling in the fog with head winds lots of the way, we found the sun again. Yohooo!!!!!

It was getting so depressing waking up every day in the fog, we wouldn't recommend it for paddling conditions. On one of those foggy days while we were rafted up for a pee, Tomer was just getting back into his cockpit and I was getting out, a very gray calm Mako SHARK!! appeared right by the side of my kayak. While I was almost having a heart attack and Tomer too, it swam around to his side as I was quickly closing my spray deck and both of us paddling away. After a few minutes that shark, or maybe another one was jumping high up out of the water, and again, and again... We got so scared, didn't stop anymore for peeing until the end of that day. On the south coast there are very few small communities that are trying hard to promote their communities for tourism so that they don't just disappear for ever.

In one of them the school just closed this year after only having 2 kids left in it. You can only reach these places by boat or kayak. Now we are left with 3 days, hopefully with following seas. (Finally thanks to the SW prevailing winds of the season). Anyway, we are tired and ready to go home. We will write one last update when we get back, so ciao for now
