  Pos: here Loc: Cabo Tiburon Acc: small hotel hut Dist: 39,5 km Start: 6:20 End: 17:55 I had a calm night, just hot as usual. But no people or boats or voices at night. Good. As it was actually quite rough out there, I was not surprised to find only one cayuco next morning […]

  Pos: here Loc: Isla behind Punta Escoces Acc: tent Dist: 46,5 km Start: 6:15 End: 16:00 The second last of those gifted days with following wind going south east – tomorrow another 29,5 km, and I am at the boarder to Colombia! I’ll cross the Golf, then it goes “uphill” again… The paddling would […]

  Pos: here Loc: Punta Akwasuitmurru Acc: tent Dist: 50,6 km Start: 6:20 End: 16:20 The lucky following wind kept on going today, as I keep on going 110 degrees. But I will have to pay it all back at the entrance to Colombia after I cross the Golf de Uraba 🙁 First there was simply no […]

  Pos: here Loc: beach before Islas Cabezas Acc: tent Dist: 47,8 km Start: 6:35 End: 16:30   Best sleep tonight! The palm tree leaves were making nice sounds, almost like rain, but it was dry. I started in the day with new energy, and a slight bit recovered skin. I’d be paddling about 110 […]

  Sorry, the computer doesn’t run stable tonight. Hope to be able to update tomorrow. This f…… humidity kills everything! Electronics and my skin.

  Pos: here Loc: Isla Corgido Acc: tent I was just up, as I saw already a local cayuco equipped with a sail heading to “my island” – already the first visitor? Sure the three guys were talking last night in Azucar, the mainland village, about my presence, and Alfredo, the true owner of this […]

Pos: here Loc: Isla Corgido Acc: tent Dist: 31,1 km Start: 6:50 End: 15:10 When I was packing this morning, the tiny man came up again to watch curiously, and maybe to try and make more business? Sorry, I was pissed from yesterday’s request, and packed without taking much notice of him apart from a […]

  Pos: here Loc: Channel island Acc: tent Dist: 37,6 km Start: 6:50 End: 16:45 Last night, I saw the local guys gathering in the distance and discussing me, as I heard a few words concerning my trip. But they all stayed at a reasonable distance for me to keep my privacy, just glancing over […]

  Pos: here Loc: Palmira Acc: tent Dist: 29.8 km Start: 6:50 End: 15:45 If someone will ask me later about the toughest part of this trip – it’s the Caribbean…why? Constant headwinds draining you fast and slowing you down 2/5, camping out in the heat makes for skin problems and sleeping badly. When I […]

  Pos: here Loc: North of Bahia de nombre de Dios Acc: tent Dist: 32,8 km Start: 6:50 End: 16:45 A good sleep, despite it was hot and muggy as usual. I sleep the best hours in the early morning when it is maybe two degrees less…just covered with a silky pareo, lying on my […]
