Jan. 15, 2024, Picton - Ship cove to Camp Bay (Queen Charlotte Track), 27,7 km, km 1635,62, 6:27 hrs
This morning we take a boat to ship cove, the start of the Queen Charlotte Track which is approximatly 75 km long.
It is a cloudy day. We don't get to see the sun but at least we won't have any rain today.

After 27,7 km and about 6,5 hrs, I arrive at Camp Bay, the campsite for tonight. My camp spot isn't perfect but will do.
