Day 7 πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Another rough wake up today - but there was no rain overnight which was nice for a change.

Today was the FINAL full day of the challenge, and we decided to go out with a bang.

We posted a little advert to our story on our page the day before, and heaps of you came out to the island which was sick πŸ™Œ

While this was going on, our Movember flag was flying high reminding us all why we were out there.

Only 1 final night now separates us from a proper feed & a warm bed…

But as promised, as we hit our goal of $5k in donations just before midnight, we will be swimming back to shore tomorrow πŸ˜…πŸ¦ˆ

Day 6 on the island… 🏝️

We got rained on AGAIN in the morning, making it 2 rude awakenings in a row πŸ˜•

The sun fortunately did come out, but the wind decided to blow an absolute gale today - and we saw the biggest swell of the trip so far.

This made fishing on the kayaks a no go - so we decided to action our Movember Flag plan…

With a bit of effort, we got the flag up on top of the rock which was the ultimate way of raising awareness for what we were doing ❀️

Waking up in the morning, we’d only have one more night to go out here - so we planned a massive day… πŸŽ‰

Day 5 was a bit disappointing…

We again slept under the stars last night with no cover - and we paid this price this morning.

We woke up to rain around 5am, and our tent nearly blew into the water 🀣

We quickly b-lined it into our tent, where the rain started bucketing down.

Following this pretty crap morning, the weather thankfully sorted itself out. We were both super hungry so we got out on the water to try catch some breakfast.

It was an extremely slow start. We’d kayaked over 8km and drifted well past meola reef before we even got our first bite!

Thankfully, Ben landed a snapper that was just big enough for us to take home for dinner.

There were a few other fish caught, but none big enough to take home. After spending 6 hours on the water and only taking home one legal snapper, it’s safe to say we were both depleted and hungry.

But vibes were still high and we were ready for another day!

Swipe till the end to see some Gordon Ramsey esque pan skills from Ben 🫣

WE GO AGAIN TOMORROW - AIMING FOR A FULL WEEK!!!

Another $1,000 in donations in the last 24 hours, and we are now officially past halfway to our target of $5k!

With us now being SEVEN days in, we’ve decided that a full 7 nights out here would be a good innings…

If we can manage to hit our goal before midnight TONIGHT, we will both SWIM back to shore to send off the challenge in style!
