Pos: here Loc: Caleta Lenga Acc: Jeimy’s house Dist: 0 km Yesterday night Jeimy called the Navy about what time I was supposed to show up there for getting the new permit – I was very positive surprised they’d bring me the necessary paperwork until Valparaiso tomorrow morning to the beach, together with my kayak! That’s a nice […]

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Lenga Acc: Jeimy’s house Dist: 61,7 km Start: 8:30 End: 19:00 I slept wonderful, no people, just a few cows around.

Pos: here Loc: Qudico Acc: Gina´s house Dist: 0 km My own computer works again…it’s really strange. Pictures are all uploaded, a bit of shopping is done, and the launch is set for tomorrow.

Pos: here Loc: Qudico Acc: Gina´s house Dist: 0 km I slept long and well in a nice bed, but waking with still a very sore body. Very high swell was forecast for the next days, so no problem to have a few days off for rest. Though it was beautiful sunny weather with low wind! The next […]
