Pos: here Loc: Rio Grande Acc: Club Nautico Dist: 0 km A normal day in the city…doing my laundry, online work, and some calls home. At 11 am, Fabian and I went for a visit to the Prefectura for lots of helpful and friendly advice from Prefecto Gustavo Adrian Borrelli, Jefe Prefectura Rio Grande. Thanks a […]

Pos: here Loc: Rio Grande Acc: Club Nautico Dist: 83,1 km Start: 6:35 End: 20:15 I woke and knew it would be the perfect paddling day…still I was not sure if I’d be happy to paddle all the distance to Rio Grande!  It would be more than 80 km…Saturday morning was supposed to be still […]

Pos: here Loc: Faro Páramo Acc: tent Dist: 60,5 km Start: 7:35 End: 16:42 A day with strong following wind, but calm seas…perfect, actually! Well, if you don’t mind getting blown along at 12km/h occasionally without paddling… I started out with the almost high tide, sitting in my kayak and waiting to get flooded. Nice […]

Pos: here Loc: Cabo Espíritu Santo Acc: tent Dist: 0 km One more of those reading days…my tent is secured to the max, rocks on all flaps and pegs, but I’m still worried to leave it alone. All I need is for the fabric to tear or to rip a loop or guy line…well, it […]

Pos: here Loc: Cabo Espritu Santo Acc: tent Dist: 35,2 km Start: 8:55 End: 13:45 I almost stepped back again today from a crossing…sure it was forecast 20-25 kn north wind, and seas from 1,30 m to 3 m…conditions really not for beginners! As usual, I stuck my head out of my tent at 4 […]

Pos: here Loc: Punta Dungeness Acc: tent Dist: 0 km I think I lost my chance to cross this morning, believing the headwind would kick in hard and early…I could have started at 4.30 am, getting flushed over with the outgoing tide at 5.40 am in less than 5 hours…the wind really kicked in only […]

Pos: here Loc: Punta Dungeness Acc: tent Dist: 47,5 km Start: 8:15 End: 17:00 Sticking my head out of the tent when I woke at first light at 4 am showed me – absolutely nothing. It was as dense fog as you can imagine. I was barely able to see the breakers crashing on the […]

Pos: here Loc: beach Acc: tent Dist: 0 km I woke with no hurry, as 50 km in no to low wind are no problem, and the tide level on this beach seemed not to be a problem as well. I packed and got my things down to the water’s edge as normal, but I […]

Pos: here Loc: beach Acc: tent Dist: 70,3 km Start: 5:10 End: 17:35 The early start was just perfect timing for the high tide at 3.30 am! I was surprised that José Jarmarillo came up at that time with about 8 youngsters and a friend to escort me out in their kayaks! Thanks! Very nice! […]

Pos: here Loc: Rio Gallegos Acc: Horatio and Mariela’s house Dist: 0 km The second “day in the city”, and the third day off in a row 🙁 Jobs today were food shopping, food packing and a newspaper interview, plus more online work. Not much else to tell. No exciting adventures in the city, sorry! The […]
