Stopped and found Jan at the Campground a few miles up the road. See his front kickstand?

Close up. The kickstand attaches to the Ortleib rack! Keeps his front wheel stable when he parks it. I want one!

Jan is FULLY loaded. He has been on the road for fourteen months and we are the first tourers he has cycled with!

Onto the ferry. It has to go out and around to get to the next island as there are sand bars ready to eat it up if it gets in too far.

Keith recommended Fatty's eatery for the best shrimp and grits in the world so who can pass that up.
