Short day in shelter around the corner, it blows too much Pos: here Loc: behind the lighthouse at Punta Macolla Acc: tent Dist: 10,8 km Start: 6:00 End: 08:45 Apart from the two cars I saw yesterday, my “highway” next to my tent stayed fortunately deserted all late afternoon and night and I had a quiet, but […]

Good progress on low wind Pos: here Loc: before Ensenada de las Piedras Acc: tent Dist: 45,8 km Start: 6:00 End: 16:20 Carrying my equipment down the steep staircase turned out to be quite an effort, walking twice with two helping guys.

  Quite relaxing day with not too many chores! Pos: here Loc: Punta Cardón Acc: Hotel Punta Cardón My skin is better, no doubt. Amazing how fast it regenerates. Still I rather prevent that rash, or would have loved to stay another day. But I was looking at windguru’s week forecast, Tuesday, also Wednesday are […]

Same old slog into the wind Pos: here Loc: at a salt lake on the beach Acc: tent Dist: 30 km Start: 6:30 End: 14:45 Last night an electrical storm was blowing a strong wind and it was flashing all night, but brought no real rain, just a few drops and not much thunder. Still […]

Boring and tedious paddle against moderate wind and waves Pos: here Loc: somewhere on the beach… Acc: tent Dist: 30,2 km Start: 6:45 End: 16:20 My brain must have been burnt out yesterday, or I was probably too tired to notice I plugged my sat-phone into the wrong USB slot to send off my full […]

Across the windy and shallow bay to a secret exit Pos: here Loc: Isla Oribona Acc: tent Dist: 28,1 km Start: 6:40 End: 13:30 I was fiddling with some cell phone problems late night yesterday, and got annoyed again about my  computer, which shut itself down a few times.

  Online work and kayak fixing Pos: here Loc: Balneario Lago Mar Acc: Gabriel and Veronica’s house I just worked online all morning, editing pictures, uploading stuff, checking websites and e-mails for my trip ahead, called home and was fighting my computer shutting down about ten times and the slow internet in the hotel.
