Pos: here Loc: Rada York Acc: tent Dist: 34,3 km Start: 9:05 End: 18:15 Hahaha, thinking it would be today all day under 20 knots…windguru is not as precise as my weather man Karel – he knew it would be tough in the morning, easier in the afternoon. And so it was – waking at […]

Pos: here Loc: Bahia Cordes Acc: tent Dist: 0 km The forecast for today got worse this morning – the weather window to pass those 20 km until I was sure to find a safe landing bay again felt too short – plus when I woke as usually at 5.30 am, it was raining cats […]

Pos: here Loc: Bahia Cordes Acc: tent Dist: 0 km As I decided yesterday, this day was a weather rest day. During the night, it started to rain heavily, and strong wind came up. Fortunately, my tent was pitched in a bit of wind shelter, but not in shelter from the rising water! It was […]

Pos: here Loc: Bahia Cordes Acc: tent Dist: 39,5 km Start: 6:40 End: 16:45 The whole day was hard work, much tougher than yesterday. The first section to Bahia Woods was the easiest, with moderate head wind and a bit of shelter in the bays. In Bahia Wood was a small fishing boat, which drove […]

Pos: here Loc: Bahia Snug Acc: tent Dist: 45,4 km Start: 6:35 End: 16:45 Kiko drove me back to the landing spot yesterday, thanks again! Sorry I already fell asleep on the drive… I put up my tent and fell really asleep around 10.30 pm. Still too late for me, especially after the other nights […]

Pos: here Loc: 8 km north of Cabo San Isidro Acc: Ricardo + Ely’s house in Punta Arenas Dist: 0 km Busy day again with calls, e-mails, gear work, a check of my gear for my next permit by Navy officer Troucoso, and finally a dinner with a few kayaking friends which I enjoyed very much. […]

Pos: here Loc: 8 km north of Cabo San Isidro Acc: Ricardo + Ely’s house in Punta Arenas Dist: 0 km The wind was howling again around the house, strong westerlies the whole next week! So nothing to miss so far… I was unpacking this morning: a new spare paddle and a bunch of rudder fins […]

Pos: here Loc: 8 km north of Cabo San Isidro Acc: Ricardo + Ely’s house in Punta Arenas Dist: 65,9 km Start: 6:35 End: 19:15 After a good night’s sleep, I woke to a dry and almost sunny, calm morning! Day three with calm weather in a row, but unfortunately the last one…but it will […]

Pos: here Loc: Ilsa Capitan Aracena Acc: tent Dist: 50,1 km Start: 7:30 End: 18:15 Now Fjordland is becoming the “easy walk in the park” as I was estimating it to be…though walking in a park is on the long run quite boring as well. But no complaints! It was dead calm water all day, […]
