The THULE team at the official arrival day in Lima

Pos: here
Loc: Punta Hermosa
Acc: Hotel in Lima
Dist: 0 km

Tomorrow:
No paddling tomorrow!

The plan for today wasn’t really obvious yesterday for us – we were hoping to stay in Sofia’s lovely beach house for our time being in Lima and already started to make ourselves at home, getting our laundry done, cleaning up gear, working online…but:

Despite we were happy to have to paddle yesterday only a shorter distance being expected at Punta Hermosa only at 4 pm, the date for the “official” arrival in Lima city has already been set by the press agency to a convenient Friday morning 10 am time, and they expected us to paddle this morning the remaining distance of about 35 km to Lima, arriving in time at 10 am??? How should this work out??? We paddle at 5 km/ hour average, with headwinds even longer…Besides, our bodies were crying for a rest and some days off the water and sun impact, and, most important, we were mentally prepared to have a rest *now*!

"Official" landing in Lima - with Michael Serra from the German embassy

When all misunderstandings were sorted out, the only option was to drive now to Lima, put our kayaks into the water just one small beach before the “official” arrival beach, and fake the “official arriving” in Lima. I like that better anyway, as I did that already in Valparaiso, and will probably also do in Buenos Aires on the 10th of May 2014! You are well showered and styled, somehow rested, and are way more happy to smile at journalists than if you had a long paddling day behind you!

Sure we’ll start over again after our Lima break at Punta Hermosa, not to miss out any section of the coast.
So we packed our gear again, left Sofia’s nice house, and were launching this morning from the fancy Club de Regatas, just 1,8 km before the “official arrival” beach. The kayaks surely were fully empty, and I did my best even not to get wet and salty in any way…sometimes, you simply need to be off the water and don’t even want to touch the salty soup!
Fortunately launching and landing were dead calm, so I could land with a happy face, smiling at about ten photographers from various press publications and at maybe three or four TV channels. THULE Peru with Marco Vasquez did a great job to arrange a small beach party with food, drinks and all the VIP press 🙂

I did my smiling press job, and had Anthea Jantsch, a pretty young blond Peruvian girl with German-Bavarian roots as a translator and “background beauty and -dancer” on the interviews. I told her at the beginning after the second interview she doesn’t need me any more for answering the questions, as they are always the same…and she did a great job about answering quite soon herself in Spanish! :-)) Good teamwork…

But is it like it is now – the older the “star” is getting , the more attention help she eventually needs with “background beauties” or -“dancers”””?? Madonna has usually a whole bunch…:-))) LOL! The same habit was done already in Peru by THULE in Arequipa, where I even had *two* background beauties…but actually, it must be coming from the car business where at automoto shows the cars are always decorated with young pretty women…but hey, I’m not a car! I’m a woman myself!!! And hopefully still nice enough to look at…but my main sponsor THULE is simply coming from the car business and wants to promote my trip as much a s possible…all good!

The great mutual THULE lunch with Alexander und Michael from the German embassy at the fancy beach restaurant "Costa Verde"

After all promotional jobs on the beach were done, we had a great mutual lunch buffet at the fancy restaurant “Costa Verde” – THULE is used to treat their business partners well! Thanks! We were maybe about 20 people – Peter and myself, 6-8 THULE guys, two representatives from the German embassy, and eventually Sofia Mulanovich, a surfer’s world champion and or house host from the first night, came also to join us for lunch with another 6 people from the surfer’s scene. They all need roof racks and THULE things…!

The afternoon was free in our fancy hotel, and Peter and I could eventually “rest” – physically, but not mentally. Online work started just now…and we were busy until we crashed at around 10 pm.

Like many other ailments, people are not properly informed about the reality of sleep apnea, especially if they have never dealt with it before. Many people begin to develop this issue later in life and are unaware of how to reduce problems with it- that is where this article comes in with useful tips!

One way to improve your sleep apnea is to shed excess weight that you are carrying. Being overweight or obese places pressure on your neck, which can compress your windpipe as you sleep. Losing just 25 pounds can make a difference in your symptoms, and losing enough weight can eliminate the disorder altogether.

Adjust your CPAP machine. Most machines come with default settings that might not correspond to your needs. You should be able to regulate the airflow: try different settings and choose one that seems to work for you. If you feel like your machine is not working like it should, try changing the settings again.

Do not take sleeping pills if you suffer from sleep apnea. These pills are not recommended if you suffer from this condition because they relax the muscles of your throat. Skipping them can actually help you get a better night of sleep because your apnea symptoms are not aggravated.

Lose a bit of weight to get rid of your sleep apnea. Many people have corrected their apnea by losing weight. Even a few pounds can help your sleep apnea symptoms.

Clear up your nasal passage before heading to bed. If you suffer from sleep apnea and have problems with a “stuffed up” nose, using a nasal spray or device can help clear your nasal airway. This is not a permanent solution, but one you can use when your apnea symptoms are the worst.

Avoid any type of drugs or alcohol if you are experiencing any type of sleep apnea. Drugs and alcohol will slow down your respiratory system, and that is known to be one of the causes of sleep apnea. If you are struggling with this issue, try to get some professional help to overcome these addictions.

A great way to know if you are experiencing severe apnea is to keep a sleep journal. Write down all the times that you wake up in the night and also record how you feel in the morning. This will help you to have a record to see your progress.

If simple changes in your lifestyle, such as regular sleep hours and losing weight, have not eliminated your sleep apnea episodes, it is time to consult with a sleep specialist. The specific causes of your sleep apnea can be evaluated, and an individual treatment plan can be designed for you.

Sleep apnea can cause many problems beyond just the inability to get a good night’s sleep. If you let your condition go untreated, it may get worse over time. Getting enough sleep is crucial to your overall level of health, so start using the tips you have read in this article right away to find relief.
