Day 7 - fuck I hate wet camps everyone hates wet camps including ducks
It had started raining the previous evening before it got dark, and the rain continued through to the next morning without a break. When I got into the sleeping bags, I discovered that the tent was leaking– the tent’s outer fly was flattened against the inner tent, and water was coming in through the seams. Some contortion was needed to try and avoid the wet areas of the floor, but the outer ex-RAAF feather-down outer sleeping bag was already wet in some places. Fortunately the inner sleeping bag, a cheap polyester thing from KMart that is used like a liner, kept the water from reaching me. I didn’t get any real sleep. Maybe I should have gone outside and slept under the extended fly..
