Fiord hopping kayaker

Tim Taylor is fiord hopping today, continuing to paddle as long as the weather allows.

He's on his way to Milford, after paddling yesterday from Breaksea Sound.

After over-nighting in Deas Cove, Thompson Sound, Tim set out early today and by mid-morning had bypassed Nancy, Charles, Caswell and George Sounds.

By mid-afternoon Tim has got Bligh and Sutherland sounds to pass before reaching Milford Sound, the northernmost of the Fiordland sounds.

Tim's spent much of the last two weeks holed up waiting for storms to pass.

His mum Lyn Taylor says he was a bit worried his fitness may have dropped off a bit because he has not been paddling a lot recently.

Tim set out from Tauranga on November 27 with the intent to be the first person to solo kayak around New Zealand in one voyage.
