Pos: 64.5749,-163.8023 Loc: behind White Mountains Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 41,6 km Start: 07:00 End: 17:30 Omg, this paddling day had an overload of natural beauty! I investigated first a small relatively new tin cabin at a place which was named on my chart as Chiukak. One might expect more than one cabin […]

Pos: 64.4050,-163.1771 Loc: Rocky Point Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today LOL at Stuart Island I could not wait to leave, here on this beach on the mainland I afford another day off. I am supposed to meet my new paddling partner Ross Elder on August 15th, and I will likely need four […]

Pos: 64.4050,-163.1771 Loc: Rocky Point Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today I stuck to my plan to have a recovery day off, as no really bad weather is coming up. Still mostly headwind every day though… I happily slept in until 9 am. As much as I hate more than one day on […]

Pos: 64.4050,-163.1771 Loc: Rocky Point Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 28,1 km Start: 09:30 End: 16:25 I did not sleep much but felt I needed to take advantage of today’s sunny and dead calm conditions. Yes, today would have been the much better long crossing day…be sure, with a paddling partner by my side, […]

Pos: 64.3600,-162.7330 Loc: Cape Darby Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 85,0 km Start: 08:00 End: 24:00 Well, yes, I admit it might be one day too early for the crossing. The day before, according to Karel’s weather forecast, I chose Tuesday, and would just have to endure one more day imprisoned on my little […]

Pos: 63.6259,-162.5164 Loc: Stuart Island North Bay Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today Omg…day three alone on a lonely island…I am starting to get crazy here… It was a dead calm night after the two stormy days, and I was seeing me already on the crossing. But I also knew it was only […]

Pos: 63.6259,-162.5164 Loc: Stuart Island North Bay Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today Day two of my unwanted asylum here…but besides boredom I had nothing to suffer. I kept myself busy by changing my tent site for the third time, just 50 meters to the right. Though I was now camping on a […]

Pos: 63.6259,-162.5164 Loc: Stuart Island North Bay Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today Fri 02/08-2019 Day 434 Pos: 63.6259,-162.5164 Loc: Stuart Island North Bay Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today I should have known I should add some rocks on my usually solid-looking and holding sand pegs, but winds up to […]

Pos: 63.6259,-162.5164 Loc: Stuart Island North Bay Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 71,6 km Start: 06:35 End: 20:35 It was a long day yesterday in my small (or rather large 4-person) Hilleberg-Hotel. Unfortunately, it feels occasionally like a prison when you can’t really go out in storm and rain and the day becomes long […]

Pos: 63.1561,-162.8457 Loc: before Point Romanzof Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today A full day off is better than two half days, so I decided to stay in today fully, though the afternoon should be calmer than this morning’s nasty wind and rain. Not that I could not paddle on not too big […]
