Today Chris and I went paddleboarding. Chris did very well but I had a few ballance issues. I had to drop down onto the board to stop myself falling into the sea.

When I had finished paddleboarding Colleen and I went for a walk along the road towards Muri Beach. This is not Muri Beach it is part of the coast where the road runs alongside the beach.
