Pos: here Loc: Caleta Leptepu Acc: NOMADS of THE SEAS Dist: 0 km   I woke early, as I couldn’t find a peaceful rest with my “bad trip conscience” – I had to talk to Andres about that matter, how I felt I hadn’t “worked my passage” yet due to my stupid sea sickness, and about the options […]

Pos: here Loc: across Isla Huepan Acc: “NOMADS of THE SEAS” Dist: 38,5 km Start: 8:15 End: 17:00 This last campsite at Puerto Santo Domingo was really a beautiful place, calm at night (after my neighbor switched his generator off), no water noises, no cow visits. A huge mountain was towering on the other side […]

Pos: here Loc: Puerto Santa Domingo Acc: tent Dist: 50,7 km Start: 8:15 End: 18:20 A perfect blue sky today all day – not a single shape of a cloud anywhere on the horizon. I think this is the first time that perfect in Fjordland. Paddling out of my yesterday perfectly calm Canal Frodden already […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Atilio Acc: tent Dist: 50,5 km Start: 8:15 End: 17:45 The night was windy at my camp in the river mouth, maybe 15-20 knots. Though I appreciated the wind while putting up camp to get my soaking wet tent dry fast, the mix of eventually rain and wind sandblasted the poor […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Magdalena Acc: tent Dist: 45,8 km Start: 8:30 End: 17:05 Another uneventful day, sorry…rainy wet start off my concrete platform with no winds and dead calm water, then dry with low clouds. At 10.30 am a light southerly friendly wind started and stopped and started with light chop…all together eventually friendly […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Luchin Acc: tent Dist: 30 km Start: 8:15 End: 17:05 A dry start in the day is always appreciated, but though my camp was fully sheltered, I heard all night the sound of the increasing wind in the trees on the mountains. It took as well a while until the boat […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Chaculay Acc: tent Dist: 49 km Start: 8:30 End: 18:15 Not really much to tell today – rain until 10 am, then calm and dry, but low clouds. I paddled first close to the shore, which is always much more interesting and entertaining than offshore, but still had to do then […]

Pos: here Loc: Canal Costa Acc: tent Dist: 42,6 km Start: 8:10 End: 16:00 The night “on the rocks” was better padded than expected and quite good. I had the light noise of the rain and waterfall near me to fall asleep. Getting up in thick fog and rain was not really a pleasure, but […]

Pos: here Loc: small island before Isla Huemules Acc: tent Dist: 42,3 km Start: 8:10 End: 17:00 I couldn’t believe Karel’s first forecast for today – 15-20 knots headwinds…he corrected to around 10-15 knots, then updated to under 10 knots, but basically I was paddling all day into a solid 15 knots north wind funneling […]
