Pos: here Loc: Peninsula Valdez Acc: tent Dist: 75 km Start: 00:00 End: 15:30 I knew the moon would be gone at 3 am, and was a bit dreading those 2 1/2 hrs of more darkness, but the moon disappointed me even more – it started to hide behind clouds already around 1.30 am. Around […]

Pos: here Loc: Golfo San Mathías Acc: kayak Dist: 80 km Start: 7:15 End: 24:00 The decision process “to cross or not to cross” was started by me actually quite late – I think somewhere in the middle of the calm Bahia Union I pulled out my GPS and measured the shortest distance to Punta […]

Pos: here Loc: Balneario El Condor Acc: Roberto’s beach house Dist: 0 km Slept in a little – never get as good sleep in a strange house than outdoors in my tent. But no complaints! A house has manyh other advantages… I found the local “Super Mercado”, and shopped the basics which were available for […]

Pos: here Loc: Balneario El Condor Acc: Roberto’s beach house Dist: 60 km Start: 7:00 End: 15:30 This day was the chance to get away from that windy black beach spot! I noticed the night already was very calm, and when I glanced out of my tent this morning my wind water wheel showed clearly […]

Pos: here Loc: 3 km before Faro Segunda Barranca Acc: tent Dist: 30 km Start: 7:15 End: 11:15 Yesterday I was happy to be able to buy some fresh veggies and fruit in the small villagae shop – nice strawberries, avocados, sweet corn on the cob. Apples and bananas anyway. Fresh things we mostly have […]

Pos: here Loc: Bahia San Blas Acc: private house from a fishing company owner Dist: 50 km Start: 7:30 End: 17:30 Quiet day – calm winds, calm water, low islands on the horizon, sometimes no water where I’d liked to paddle…like at home in the German Wattensee! But there is a good GPS, so I […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Culebra Acc: tent Dist: 40 km Start: 9:15 End: 17:30 It took me exactly two hours to get afloat today after having packed my gear…next time I rather stay on the higher sand belt close to the beach and take the risk to have to get up at night’s high tide, […]
