I can see sleep! 

I've always felt that due to a combination of reasons, kayak fishing has a kind of therapeutic effect on the soul, which is something I also feel about camping. So far I've only been on my coastal kayak fishing tour for just on a week and already I am starting to feel some of the positive effects. Most notably, the insomnia that I've been enduring for years (especially in the past 8 – 9 months) has vanished without a trace.

I've compared myself to Tyler Durden (of Fight Club) here several times, mainly due to my ability to operate on only one hour of sleep a night. Ever since I've been staying at Iluka, instead of averaging only a few hours sleep a night I'm getting 10 – 11 hours, dozing off to sleep at around 9:30 each night. Everything is slowing down, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

This is a really good habit for my body clock to be falling in to, as I plan to make most of my trips morning adventures. So far it's been the complete reverse of that, but as I ascend further north and the weather hots up the tide will turn.
