  More online preparations and shopping Pos: here Loc: Cayenne Acc: Eric’s and Christina’s house My head is smoking…I was researching, reading up and downloading so many on informations, maps and read in sailing directions and charts and weather reports and tide predictions and…and…and… The main problem the next 8-10 day will be the lack […]

  I once more survived… Pos: here Loc: Cayenne Acc: Eric’s and Christina’s house Dist: 22 km Start: 6:30 End: 12:25 Late evening, a sandy rain storm came up that I had to close my inner tent wall to not get the fine sand blown through the bug mesh. Sure in this way I got […]

  A bit of everything Pos: here Loc: The intensely awaited beach Acc: tent Dist: 43,5 km Start: 6:30 End: 17:00 An early start, escorted by two very early bird dog walkers with a fat camera. Paparazzi? At lowest tide, the surf was moderate, but continued all along the Kourou beach. Lots of rain! Yesterday, […]

  Through nasty surf to Kourou Pos: here Loc: Kourou Acc: tent Dist: 28,9 km Start: 6:50 End: 12:50 It started all so easy and nice, despite rain. Low wind, nice beaches along with sand, then mud upfront, but calm water. Two mudfields to negotiate and to head straight out. Then the last 10 km […]

  A necessary rest day Pos: here Loc: The perfect wild beach Acc: tent I already felt yesterday I need to have a rest day today, my body was aching everywhere from the superhuman effort during the night, and my skin had sores here and there from paddling just too long in one go. And […]

  No campsite nowhere… Loc: somewhere afloat on the water Acc: paddling my kayak through the night Start: 7:30 End: 00:00 This day is another boring paddling day in the shallows, after two not perfect nights I was tired and thankful for the possibility to throw my anchor here and there in the muddy not […]

  Lucky dry camp Pos: here Loc: Forest spit Acc: hammock Dist: 40,6 km Start: 6:40 End: 18:40 Briefly before sunset I went out, fortunately still no bugs, to check the surf. High tide would be around 8 pm, and I was really hoping my camp spot would stay dry and no waves would be […]

  Camped near suspicious cows… Pos: here Loc: Buffalo beach Acc: tent Dist: 40,7 km Start: 6:40 End: 15:45 I waved farewell to the friendly community of Yalimapo, the weekend camp days were as quiet as they could be. If all village camps would be like that… The current was still running strong up the […]

  Feeling much better Pos: here Loc: Awala/ Yalimapo or Les Hattes Acc: tent I think this was the second time I read the long slip of my antibiotics medicine against “upper and lower throat diseases”, but the same antibiotics was also killing at the same time many other problems including diarrhea and sexual transmitted […]
