Pos: here Loc: Calbuco Acc: Restaurant Kiel Dist: 0 km Helga was back this morning, and we headed to town to do some chores. Starting with picking up my clothes form the “NOMADS of THE SEAS”, but the office was closed and I got the bag at the gate. Still I logged again on their wifi network from […]

Pos: here Loc: Calbuco Acc: Restaurant Kiel Dist: 0 km   I had a nice breakfast with Helga Birker, my friendly host who is Meike Michaeliks mother. Good old German style! Helga remind me a lot to my own mum… Helga was up to visit a friend in town and did invite me along, but I had to […]

Pos: here Loc: Calbuco Acc: Restaurant Kiel Dist: 30,4 km Start: 8:15 End: 14:10 I had a nice group of visitors last night 8.30 pm – a local woman with five kids came along to have a look. Yes, I need to learn more Spanish…but I remembered I had a bag of fruit jelly candies my stomach […]

Pos: here Loc: Punta Huron Acc: tent Dist: 46,5 km Start: 8:10 End: 16:40 A long crossing, but easy southerly winds, seas and mostly sunshine with great visibility, really nothing to complain about. About 10 km before the coast,  thick fog came up, and all visibility was gone! Good to have a GPS. Soon the […]

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Ayacara Acc: tent Dist: 44,5 km Start: 8:10 End: 16:40 I had to overcome this morning the same low tide trap as on the last beach, dragging the boat out over a wide belt of round slippery rocks of the size of coconuts. But there is worse dragging for a kayak, […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Llahuen Acc: tent Dist: 40,3 km Start: 8:45 End: 16:25 I was almost trapped this morning – due to my early afternoon landing last day around 1 1/2 hour after high tide, I didn’t really expect the lowest tide in the early morning would display a wide belt of huge rocky […]

Pos: here Loc: behind Cabo Almán Acc: tent Dist: 34,2 km Start: 8:45 End: 16:33 A rainy, gray morning without much view, I paddled, and paddled and paddled seemingly against moderate wind and current…nothing interesting apart from a lot of seals at play and in two colonies. One big cave, the rest was mostly rocky […]

Pos: here Loc: before Islote Linagua Acc: tent Dist: 47,3 km Start: 11:05 End: 19:15 My planned stay on the floor of the 4-bed girl’s crew cabin didn’t happen, I got a bed in a 3- bed cabin with two men – one of them was always on the watch on the bridge while the […]

Pos: here Loc: across Isla Huepan Acc: NOMADS of THE SEA Dist: 0 km The last breakfast with the guys, enjoying a last time the perfect service “upstairs” – tonight I’ll be joining the crew “downstairs”, as the boat is fully chartered by a group from one huge company and there is no space for […]

I had a few hours in the lounge of the “NOMADS of THE SEAS” today in the harbor of Puerto Montt to upload all my pictures since Punta Arenas on my Picasa webalbum. But I’m sorry the time of the stay was too short to write most subtitles, geotags and to insert them intot the […]
