23.01.2022 Day 1: 45km of freshwater Fitzroy conquered Blistered hands and sore backs all around, but the donations rolling through as we came downstream kept us moving. Thank you so much to everyone that has donated to P4P thus far. Big love to Doblo's Farmers Markets for keeping up the fructose levels up this morning with the fruit donation. Special thanks to Richo's Quality Meats at Northside Plaza for providing the protein to help us attack day 2.

23.01.2022 Day 3 done and dusted. 14km early this morning saw us cheering the end of the Fitzroy leg then quickly bracing for the shifting sand bars in front of Joskeleigh and into the open waters. 40km by James’s GPS watch has us setting up camp and resting our sea legs on Divided Island for the night. By far the most challenging day of our journey. We’re still so humbled by everyone’s efforts of support and donations, thank you so much. Great Keppel Island tomorrow and hoping for a ...drop in wind and swell for a smooth trip https://give.everydayhero.com/au/pfp-2018

20.01.2022 The P4P crew None of this adventure would be possible without the idling support crew that has followed us from day 1. George ‘Pap’ Belonogoff and Toddy ‘SPF Zero’ Latham, thank you for keeping us hydrated, fed and the crocs away at every bend this week. Mark & Yeppoon Surf Life Saving Club - thank you so much for getting behind this project from the moment we first made contact. Your enthusiasm to help us make this mission work has meant the world to us and this adventure wouldn’t have taken float without your 33 surfboat (The Mergoat).

17.01.2022 Day 4 - Great Keppel Island A run over the horizon from Divided Island has landed us on the beautiful GKI for the day and night. From starting on Monday, we’ve gone from emerald green water, to choccy milk, pea and ham soup, grandma’s cordial (weak green) blending to pristine turquoise waters. ... We’ve just clocked up 90% of our fundraising goal. Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed! It makes the blisters hurt a little less...

13.01.2022 Another 35 clicks on the Mighty Fitzroy has gotten us to Thompson’s Point! Tomorrow there’s another 40 on the menu as we head in to open water. Huge thanks to the Gamage’s today for kindly allowing us to camp on their gorgeous verandah tonight.
