Spring time for the cactus!

Pos: here
Loc: Punta Huentalauquen
Acc: tent
Dist: 0 km

Tomorrow:
We are again not paddling tomorrow due to still over 4 m of swell and still some sniffy noses…

Nothing exciting happened today – I slept better due to two Paracetamol pills last night which I actually hate to take, but my body was hurting so much from the cold I felt like I needed a bit of relief.

Spring time for the nesting birds also already?

Today went better, no pills were necessary, but we both were far away from being already fit again. Sleeping, eating, reading, and I fiddled a bit with our “household”. What a luck that there are those four days of swell around and over 4 m – not that I haven’t paddled such stuff with reasonably low winds on top, but it’s no pleasure any more. Especially not in front of a long line of cliffs and in our bad state of health. Those  forced four days off come just matching with our health state!

Sunday the swell is going down to three meters with very low wind, so no problem to paddle again, and we should also feel ok again with both of our colds.

No fishermen around today, no Navy, just the two of us and the sea and the desert – actually so relaxing! But still I rather be paddling…

freya, du musst das so sehen: auch bei der australienumrundung war eine mehrtägige grippe dabei.die ist jetzt durch, kommt auch auf dieser umrundung nicht mehr. bei 4 m welle wär sowieso nichts vernünftiges drin. also sonntag hört sich gut an.

I’d rather be paddling as well. Hope you feel much better and ready to paddle on Sunday. Safe paddling and fair winds.
