Fri 06/04-2012 Day 221

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Quedal Acc: tent Dist: 0 km What an ugly, gray, drizzly, foggy and eventually rainy and windy day! Nothing you’d like to kick a dog out of the house…not to talk about paddling. You can’t see the mountains raising on each side of my river valley Besides, the swell is still […]

Thu 05/04-2012 Day 220

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Quedal Acc: tent Dist: 0 km Forecast for today was 15-20 knots wnw, then 19-25 knots wnw with seas of 4,50 to 6,50 m – a clear no go. Though again, like yesterday, the sea and weather all morning and midday looked quite reasonable…but I trust Karel it should be better […]

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Quedal Acc: tent Dist: 0 km Karel fore casted for today halfway reasonable winds and direction with 15-20 knots south west, but the swell was to be 4-6,50 meters! That is a combination which is no good – my “swell limit” is about 4 meters with such wind. I’m not in […]

Pos: here Loc: Caleta Quedal Acc: tent Dist: 58,9 km Start: 8:15 End: 20:05 It was low following wind forecast – for the morning and noon. Then low headwind, but these I got for two thirds of the day. Plus swell of 2-3,50 m. So overall reasonable conditions for paddling “outside”. I was planning 55 km, […]

Mon 02/04-2012 Day 217

Pos: here Loc: Punta Puga Acc: tent Dist: 52,5 km Start: 8:15 End: 17:35 What a first “real” sea kayaking day again! And what a headland at the end! I launched with first light, ready to tackle “the sea” again. Actually, having paddled for so long on sheltered water get your “sea legs” rusty, and […]

Sun 01/04-2012 Day 216

Pos: here Loc: Canal Chacao Acc: tent Dist: 41 km Start: 8:50 End: 17:55 I felt I needed to sleep in a bit this Sunday morning. As usual in town stops, I didn’t get enough sleep. And the wind was blowing already all night with 15-20 knots, which was not an inviting start to the […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Calbuco Acc: tent Dist: 3,8 km Start: 18:10 End: 19:00 I had a nice old-style German breakfast again with Helge, her friend Lotti and Helga’s Ex-husband Wolfgang. But soon Helga and I had to drive off to the “Jumbo” Supermarket for my food shopping for the next 2-3 weeks. Ahhhhhhhh, this […]

LOL!

LOL! I remember I sold my old, quite worn from Argentina and Cape Horn, special made Kokatat Expedition Dry Suit in Punta Arenas – the new owner of the suit is now only called any more “FREYO”, and even made it on the cover of this magazine with my old suit… 🙂 🙂 🙂
