===== Miller's Run =====

Timed from near Miller's Point (start even with a known exposed rock in the water) until your feet are on the beach in Fishhoek. Distance should be confirmed by GPS and can vary depending on tide. "Any distance less than 11.6km is considered unacceptable" (Robin Mousley). Launch from Miller's Point's more north slipway and paddle upwind approx. .2 - .3 km? or from the more southerly slipway then out around the start rock. We have heard the start rock called "Batsata" but have locals identify the starting rock for you.
