Pos: here Loc: Fjordo Pia, Punta Falsa Acc: tent Dist: 59,8 km Start: 4:25 End: 18:40 I think I got glacier overload today… Last night, a big cruise boat was passing by, and two more yachts joined the two Italian ones in the same bay…but they arrived at 1 am, making quite some noise 🙁 […]

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Olla, Tierra del Fuego Acc: tent Dist: 46,5 km Start: 5:05 End: 14:40 A day for the gourmet paddler – no wind until noon, millpond in Beagle Channel! It calmed actually already down last night, and if I’d be keen on making distance, I could have launched yesterday at 6 pm […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Hoste, Peninsula Dum Acc: tent Dist: 0 km I slept long, with lots of rain in the morning, the wind already 15-20 knots out there in the Beagle Channel, showing some white caps.

Pos: here Loc: Ushuaia Acc: Atiliio and Eva’s house Dist: 0 km The whole morning was spent with editing and uploading pictures, writing captions and inserting them into the blog entries…quite some work, as I was a bit behind since Rio Grande, with only crabby internet in Puerto Williams. All up and done now! Atilio […]

Pos: here Loc: Ushuaia Acc: Atilio and Eva’s house Dist: 0 km A long sleep, then there was a date at the Prefectura at 10 am for more talk with the boss, and for two TV interviews. The afternoon, Atilio was sanding my bad old kayak repairs with his machine, and then we put some better epoxy […]
