Pos: here Loc: Rio Gallegos Acc: Horatio and Mariela’s house Dist: 0 km This comment from yesterday is probably typical for how most people envision my day’s off in the city: “Good luck in R.G. enyoy your days in city and take a good rest.

Pos: here Loc: somewhere along the cliffs Acc: tent Dist: 39,3 km Start: 9:00 End: 17:35 I had to wait this morning until at 9 am for the incoming tide to reach the gravel beach, then launching was an easy game! No way it would it be sensible for me to drag my boat out. […]

Pos: here Loc: horrible steep beach Acc: tent Dist: 19,8 km Start: 16:05 End: 20:35 Last night I heard twice some short thunder noise – I think this must have been a large rock or piece of cliff falling down…only scary if I was camping right underneath! My campsite is in a river mouth, and […]
