Another huge stinging beauty

Pos: here
Loc: Caleta Arenas
Acc: tent
Dist: 53,6 km
Start: 7:40 End: 17:05

Tomorrow:
Estimated landing: between Punta Chipana and Punta Chomache
Estimated starting time: Right after sunrise
Estimated landing time: Well before sunset

The dreaded surf was quite down this morning, and we both got out dry and safe.

After a while, I had to ask Peter if he thought everything was ok with his paddle…why? I eventually noticed that somehow we managed to swap a  paddle half – I was paddling with his bigger wing blade on the left, and he had my smaller wing blade on his left side! And I was wondering why I had always to steer to the left…

Soon the fat monster jelly fish invasion arrived – most of the were swimming about 3-4 meter down under us and only a few just under the surface, but their size of  up to more than a meter, with an about 50 cm red-brownish coloured head and a bright white fleshy tail made them shine through the clear water. I couldn’t count them at all, they must have been many hundreds over the day! Who wants to go swimming??

I even saw a few all red ones, instead of the bright white tail it was red allover. Yuck – but somehow beautiful…

Ready for dinner???

A tiny 2 cm fish decided to present himself as dinner by jumping on my kayak, but I told hím he needs to grow a little before he should offer himself again!

The guano collectors at work at Punta Paquica

Punta Paquica, a long high protruding headland with many, many seals, also has high white cliffs – white from all the bird shit! We saw something new today – four probably young guys climbing in the steep cliffs, and shuffling many huge white sacks to probably a few loading points close to the cliff edges. They seem to have collected the guano – by scraping it off the rocks, or by hammering big lumps out of it? What a (shitty) job! But obviously it was it worth while, seeing those piles of sacks!

Seals en masse again!

We were passing two low sandy headlands which had a huge bunch of colourful holiday houses. Just wondering when the season is starting? The surf was rolling up there quite a bit, no place to land!

Our destination was just around Punta Arenas, a very nice sheltered beach in a deep bay. A beautiful, easy landing! a bunch of curious local fisher men were greeting us, and seemed to be quite impressed by our trip 🙂

A calm night is waiting with no surf!!! Just the local highway is close…

Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve
had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for
another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!

Virtually all of the things you articulate happens to be supprisingly legitimate and that makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light previously. This piece truly did switch the light on for me as far as this particular issue goes. Nonetheless at this time there is actually 1 position I am not necessarily too comfortable with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual main idea of your position, allow me see just what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Nicely done.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I
come across a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve
hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something
concerning this.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform
you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Concerns, CA has income tax, so if you have a good revenue or fixed income from assets,
Florida is going to be happy to tax it. Dallas, being last
I looked, doesn’t have state tax, but taxes and special prices and fire district expenses and water-management expenses are getting way-out of hand.

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.

Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I
can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not
sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Thanks

I every time used to read article in news papers but now as I am a user of internet therefore from now I
am using net for articles, thanks to web.

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin

The Jellyfish would have definately kept me out of the water. No swimming today.Its funny you mention the little fish jumping on the deck of your Yak. Once I had a mullet jump up and hit me in the left side of my chest. I swore he was attracted to my sole nipple ring,since I was bare…chested. That’s crazy about the guys collecting the bird poop to sell.Like you said,what a sheety job. Good to hear you had a good day.Take care.Safe Paddling.

I am so amazed by your adventures..ive been telling people about your book and think about you often when im on the water. Maybe someday ill get to do a bigger body of water then a river. Your an amazing woman, cheers

Didn’t they ship guano to Europe and America by the boatload in the 1800s to sell to farmers as fertilizer?
