straight distance left: 732 km
Loc: Lago dos Patos
Acc: tent
I was nicely asleep, feeling safe in this remote area close to the spit. Wheel tracks were everywhere on the coast the last few days, but none of them looked really fresh. Who can expect a car passing close to my tent at 10.40pm at dark night? And it came from the spit?? There are no houses or huts here, and I haven’t seen any fishermen activities neither on the water nor from the shore at the spit. At least I didn’t see any. But still this car came by…I was sitting straight upright in my tent, always wondering if with the strong car headlamps shining directly on me my silhouette would be visible inside the tent. Thank goodness it was passing, probably wondering the same about me what I would be doing here. Sleeping, what else…
I went back to sleep, when 40 minutes later, probably the same car came back, driving again back in the direction up to the spit!!! What the heck…did he made up his mind to check now about the lonely camper? Can’t say I was feeling very comfortable…but he passed by again, and that was it. What was he doing out there at 11.20 pm in the direction out to the spit??? There MUST be a hut somewhere, and he was either dumping his secret lover, or picking one…or he was on a night’s not allowed hunting drive for cows or other animals…or…??? No idea, at least he was scaring me a bit. But next morning I also noticed the regular wheel track was leading over the dry meadow on the other side of my tent and he may have taken the worse path through some lose sand not to disturb me too much. Or such…
I was walking this morning a while up the wheel track to find the hut or some signs of human activity, but nothing besides the track.I didn’t dare to go all the way up to the spit again in fear to leave my tent too long unattended. Many birds to spot, but besides this walk, the forced strong headwind rest day was boring and I will paddle on tomorrow, despite headwinds around 10 knots (hopefully only). I have 100 km left to Pelotas, tomorrow moderate headwinds, Saturday low head winds, and Sunday a good following NE again to hopefully reach the city and some friends to host me there. Then it will be the next Lagoon leading directly to the Uruguay boarder! If the weather will not be too bad, I am still well in time to arrive on May 2nd.
