Pos: here Loc: Prefectura Almanza Acc: Prefectura Ushuaia Dist: 65,3 km Start: 6:05 End: 19:15 It has been raining a lot this night, and I had to pack a wet tent…yuck! But the wind has calmed down as forecasted, and I had an easy calm paddle to first see the Prefectura in Moat. I landed […]

Pos: here Loc: Punta Final Acc: tent Dist: 26,5 km Start: 10:00 End: 16:10 I called Peter this morning who had a look on Alejandro’s SPOT tracking website, and he saw that the last information he gave me about them being yesterday night in Moat was already one day old. Last night they were camped […]

Pos: here Loc: Rio Lopez in Bahia Slogget Acc: tent Dist: 53,9 km Start: 5:30 End: 17:00 A day with mixed winds…it was supposed to be very low head winds in the morning and noon, then breezing up to ugly 15-20 knots nw. So I’ll give it an early start, to make the most of […]

Pos: here Loc: behind Punta Segger Acc: tent Dist: 57,5 km Start: 9:45 End: 20:20 I had a visitor tonight! I heard a noise at my kayak at 1.30 am, and for sure was thinking about an animal, as there were simply no people here. A cow licking the salt from my boat? A curious guanaco? […]

Pos: here Loc: Bahia Thetis Acc: tent Dist: 38,5 km Start: 9:00 End: 15:30 Looking out of my tent window at 4 am to get an early start,  I saw: Nothing, for the second time. Fog, dense as it can be, and the tent was accordingly soaking wet. I closed my eyes again, and looked out […]

Pos: here Loc: after Punta Rio Bueno Acc: tent Dist: 60,1 km Start: 7:00 End: 18:40 Launching was easy downhill the gravel beach, though the swell and dumper had lifted over night a bit. I’m already an expert on steep gravel beaches…the problem with that one time before Magellan Strait not getting out was it […]

Pos: here Loc: behind Estancia Maria Luisa Acc: tent Dist: 55,2 km Start: 8:45 End: 19:25 Not much to write today – moderate annoying headwinds in the morning, changing to the better after Cabo San Pablo. Calm seas, lots of rock reefs to make a wide berth around at low tide, but enough sandy beaches […]

Pos: here Loc: Cabo Chico Acc: tent Dist: 58,1 km Start: 8:45 End: 19:00 I woke again at 7.30 after a short hop to the bathroom at 6 am and a look out of the window at the river with no water in it. But now there was! Time to pack and to go as […]

Pos: here Loc: Rio Grande Acc: Club Nautico Dist: 0 km Th day kept on going with finishing my repair jobs, all good and I can live with the state of the kit for the next weeks. Alejandro and Juan Pablo weere really finishing their kayaks last night, working probably until 4 or 5 am…well! Now they […]

Pos: here Loc: Rio Grande Acc: Club Nautico Dist: 0 km The day was filled with jobs…I couldn’t sleep long, as Alejandro started to wander around the room we were all sleeping at 4.50 am…one thing you really need on an expedition is good quality and quantity sleep! For preparation to think about everything, and […]
