Pos: here Loc: Caleta Duao Acc: tent Dist: 55,2 km Start: 8:40 End: 19:15 I was scared this morning how the landing today may be. Nothing doing with “Fearless”… I hate surf landings. The swell forecast was just below 2 m, and I think it can’t get better. Wind was easy going southerly. I needed […]

Pos: here Loc: Rio Chovellén Acc: tent Dist: 39,1 km Start: 8:30 End: 17:00 The policemen I spoke to last night promised to take care of me this night, which sounded nice.
