It is becoming autumn here…the morning was once more freezing cold with fog and a wet tent outside. I just about stayed warm in my sleeping bag and blanket, but froze my hands off the first paddling hour in fog. The water was still warm with 20 degrees, so I stuck my hands into the water as often as needed. The sun came out for all day, and it became really friendly to paddle on dead calm water and wind first, then with some south easterly low wind.I even made a few shore breaks, as I was a bit sore from yesterday’s hard long paddle.

The coast is very sweet water- like now, with flat white sandy beaches, cliffs, some reed fields, many sea birds and floating plants islands it really looks like on the big lagoons I was paddling in the south of Brazil. I could feel some current all day, at about 2 pm with me, so the tidal difference of half a meter only *does* make a difference. Two more days and I should be in Colonia!

Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
Hello! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Excellent blog and outstanding design and style.
I understand the reluctance of some PR people to get on the digital wagon, because frankly, even for someone who enjoys social media and SEO – it’s a LOT of work to keep up with it. It’s natural that people don’t want to expand their workload and knowledge demands exponentially – but evolution is demanding it.

30 or 40km, sometimes up to 60km daily, day after day, what a great performance. Three or four more days and she will be at the finish line! Wow!
What an amazing paddling athlete, and what a strong and brave woman she is. She is by far the highest-skilled open ocean paddler in history. What a privilege to be a witness of her journey!
Vamos que vamos Freya!!!
