Pos: here Loc: Peninsula Brecknok Acc: tent Dist: 0 km Rain, rain, rain all day, is all what I can write today, not much of drying my clothes… At least the charging of my e-book through my laptop is working all right, hopefully lasting until Punta Arenas…this is not my favorite way of making (not […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Stewart Bahia Escape Acc: tent Dist: 50 km Start: 7:20 End: 16:05 My calculation regarding the water level of the nights’ high tide reaching the tent site, looking at the grass quality, was correct – the water came up just to my guy line tent peg…still I was sitting vertical for […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Londonderry Acc: tent Dist: 25,6 km Start: 6:00 End: 13:20 I forced myself out of bed this morning, though sleeping with the window wide open, it felt still too warm inside the room, being used to sleeping outside…my body was still aching every where.
