Four years after our Denham to Monkey Mia kayak expedition ended prematurely at South Gregories, Leanne and I returned to complete and extend the route even further into Shark Bay Marine Park.
Beginning once again from the Denham boat ramp, we retraced our previous route north along the Peron Peninsula.
Loaded with nearly two weeks of supplies, the kayak made for slow going, and it wasn’t long before we needed a break.
Wildlife Encounters
Later in the afternoon, we paddled into a sheltered bay to look for wildlife. Before we’d even reached the beach, shovelnose rays appeared alongside the kayak!
As we wandered further into the bay, they filled the shallows.
And then came the sharks.
We eventually returned to the kayak and continued north, looking for somewhere to spend our first night.
Camp Life
Once we’d chosen a campsite, we settled into familiar routines, beginning with bringing the kayak above the high-water line.
Followed by a swim.
Dinner
And a show.
