Pos: here Loc: offshore Puerto Saavedra Acc: afloat in my kayak Dist: 68,7 km Start: 11:20 End: 00:00 I stuck my head out of the tent and saw again *nothing* but thick fog – I was camped probably 100 meters off the waterline and could barely see it! I wouldn´t have minded to launch as it was […]

I landed in Quidico with the necessary help of the locals. Thanks! And thanks to the Navy for notifying!

38.4158 73.5366 114.12km so far, 19.4km left. 8am, something like daylight with fog and rain, UGLY all night…

38.9481 73.3564 40.9km so far since 11.20 due to dense fog in morning. 79km left to Quidico. Feeling like a lean mean paddling machine…no wind, calm water, just big swell. Sunset 19.30 Sunrise 8.18 Moonrise 00.48

…hmmmm, this surf is deadly trashy and unlandable. Will have to paddle until Quidico. My 21st night on the water…not really my favorite…

Pos: here Loc: Bahia Bonifacio Acc: tent Dist: 51,1 km Start: 7:25 End: 18:45 I’d love to get up earlier in the morning, but though those days was the moon shining bright early, I feel not happy to launch still in darkness. Nights are now humid and cold, my sleeping bag barely keeps me warm. […]

Pos: here Loc: Punta Galera Acc: tent Dist: 45,5 km Start: 8:50 End: 18:00 I had an undisturbed night – if you don’t count my strange dreams about getting visitors and sneaking around persons to my tent… Once I started to pack, my three friendly female neighbors came over again to help, to watch and […]

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Milagro Acc: tent Dist: 44,7 km Start: 8:45 End: 17:15 The noise of the night besides the crashing surf was a continuous frog concert of hundreds of frogs, sometimes stopping all together on one sound, just to start over again with a new song by first one guy, then two, and […]

Pos: here Loc: Rada Ranu Acc: tent Dist: 31,5 km Start: 8:45 End: 15:20 Not really a good paddling day…I was launching more or less allright, with a bit water in the cockpit, but nothing in my face :-). I had to launch from the other side of the beach at low tide, but I […]
