Pos: here Loc: Caraquez Acc: Navy Caraquez Dist: 48,1 km Start: 06:45 End: 16:15 Tomorrow’s estimated landing: Punta Venado Somehow I was slipping off my horizontal ledge I dug last night with the whole tent, and I had to shift my sleeping pad quite a bit. But besides that, the night was quiet but for […]

Pos: here Loc: Navy Punta Salinas Acc: tent Dist: 52,7 km Start: 6:30 End: 17:20 Tomorrow: Estimated landing: Somewhere about 50-60 km up the coast! A good rest gives me fresh spirit to go! There was an electricity break down in the village just when I wanted to get up – for me no problem […]

Pos: here Loc: Capitania Chanduy Acc: tent I felt already too much worn during the night – my body needed more rest than just this night of sleep.

Pos: here Loc: Capitania Chanduy Acc: tent Dist: 46,2 km Start: 6:50 End: 17:40 Tomorrow: Estimated landing: Punta Salinas I had the whole city concert last night – dogs barking, kids crying, people shouting, VHF radio talking, music playing, air condition engines running (not for my tent though…), cars honking and kick starting, roosters crowing […]
