Bushnell Arc 1000 Compare To Nikon Archers Choice

between creeks and bays of Chubut.

COMMENTED IMAGES OF THE STAGE.

Large rocks falling into the sea. These same rocks are tightly closed beaches that are barely visible and are ideal for camping and against the wind.

One of the many islands we passed on the road. Up many cormorants nesting. The white you see is bird guano. (Guano = stool)

The red color of the volcanic rocks is spectacular.

Wolves happy in the hot rocks.

reach of beaches, some background cuts eroded plateau.

The Gypsy pulls handbrake to not drive a nail against the rocks. We come out at many beaches that end in stone when the tide is low and you have to dodge.

not remember the name of the lighthouse.

The sea is calm. At times everything is quiet and suddenly bursts come from all sides. Paddle attached to the rocks is an advantage.
camp from afar. You can see the steps that make up the waves at different tides. All the beach is pebbles.
Something quite cowardly, Pumas and a trap for foxes to avoid eating the sheep. Who was first? them or the sheep?
someday going to fall, water and wind can not be stopped.
View from the hill, some amazing places.
behind the sea are these landscapes.

stop happening if I ever see is a rock formation out to sea and is at the bottom on the image. Penguins are concentrated there.
volcanic rocks in a stream that goes to sea just to the bottom of the image.

wig and wolves.

Wolves hair like always curious.

This is one of the islands we passed with colonies of cormorants.

Excellent beaches between rocks in the Cabo Raso.
A fur seal which is rare to see them. In the hidden island lives a colony. This was a bit far from the island. Solitary man.

Union Beach - Shrimp.
Good, we are in Puerto Shrimp. The landscape has changed and is getting better. Now we are going through volcanic rock formations, coves, points, bays, capes, bays and beaches are a dream, the dream of kayaker sea.
There are islands with sea lions and cormorants nesting in large colonies. Bird species appeared as Quetro (a rather chubby duck) the Skua (predator of eggs and chicks), among others. What more could you want? this has already surpassed anything we imagined.
The idea of \u200b\u200bmonotonous coast here in Patagonia does not work because the diversity of environments that are formed by the whims of nature are innumerable. To enjoy all would have to spend months and walk along the banks mile after mile.
playing places
We come recommended by people who know and take note of everything to come back another time. From Puerto Lobos going Valdés, gulfs and coastal Madryn is one and already down Union Beach is another story with lots of rocks.
Between the rocks there are algae, much wealth ictícola (fish, mollusks, etc) and clear waters that make everything in sight. Shrimp now down it gets better because there are more places like the cove recherche Horn, the Cape two bays and dolphins and other things to discover. The wind is very changeable, sometimes we are with torn south and north, then returns. The rock formations there are many strange movements in the water, currents speed up, dabbled with well-defined waves, crashing against the rocks, very interesting to see how it responds the kayak. There was much surf on arrival in Shrimp.
After enduring a few days to union beach reach the winds blew in favor. Our passage through the area was luxurious. We were Seba and Eve, and all flia Pulgui Perez Astuti. We had met in the Quiaca and we agreed to meet in Trelew. The thing is that we went to look Prefecture, we stayed in the house, walked around the VIRCH, valley of Trelew, we ate the first lamb of the season and something new, we tried the feta cheese is excellent.
Perez flia Astuti
The farm has a sheep production is booming. We are most grateful for the care of these friends the way we are taught about our country.
And we tell them more friends on the road. We arrived at Cabo Raso a day that blew strong against and get the hell to cross sea, rather sacrificed. The gift came later when we descended from the kayaks on a beach overlooking the spectacular Showers (wreck) and a lighthouse. In the distance passed Route 1 and headed over there where there is also an abandoned village and a military bunker for the project Condor (missile).
We grabbed thirst and face into a white van stopped next to a home for a little water. Not only had water! we had lamb stew, beer, wine, transport back to the kayaks in a truck and the best, we met Tom and Eliel that are laburando from dawn to dusk to put that old people left to work as a tourist destination for travelers from all over the world.
A very good project with a lot of work and rebuilding everything from stone and wood to give it a facade much as it was years ago. They have to go 1 and go to visit this place, we recommend it. Cabo Raso That night was filled, the truck arrived with the flia Domínguez. We were many, and those things have to happen shrimp living in the truck and invited us to stay at home and eat and meet a little place with recommendations from the coast and all, completely fine. Meetings were taking place one after another with people or first class. As the world is small and the truck played rugby, had acquaintances in common and shared anecdotes. The world is a handkerchief, make no mistake, but something that makes people who are on the same frequency is at the right time and we have been checking on this trip.
As I was saying earlier on the tour, we passed very rare and striking formations, pass by riding in arrowheads and other objects, the largest penguin colony of Punta Tombo Argentina is. In the latter, live longer than 800,000 bugs scattered the most unusual places. We have seen above the hills PENGUIN 1 kilometer from the coast. Imagine the poor penguin has to go to lunch and return to the nest ... jaj that laburo. If they saw walking understand what I say, step by little step and skipping stones.

take a long time to meditate, flapping wings, breathe fresh air. They are very hung, along with the Wolves are without doubt the nicest animals in Patagonia. A description of behavior is unscientific but good, so my style.
also come through gardens of algae that sometimes you slow the kayak and paddle hook you on especially when the tide is low. Orca could see another few days ago but far away, about 500 meters. Surely a lone male walking morph Lobería penguins, cormorants and petrels. We saw the dorsal fin a couple of times, take a deep breath and left. We still have hopes to meet face to face with some.
The water temperature is cold, I do not put ourselves to clean leather snorkeling. Best we stay out of water on average is 15 degrees with a sun that part of the Capoche but not heating because of the wind that cools everything.
There are things I can mention the waste issue. The Argentos are dirty and we have a serious problem of education. Our problem is cultural and behavioral change can take years and as we have .... well, ever. There is one beach that is not garbage. I bet that from now no bottle thrown Ushuaia. The last we saw in Cabo Raso, a well full of corpses of guanacos and trash bags. Well filthy matter.
Well, it's something boring and I decided that if we see someone littering we left him in the head rowing.
The pictures speak a little more about the good and the incredible places that have the Patagonian coast. There is much to learn, the rooms are huge and sometimes prevent the arrival of people, you have to come by sea.
We face the last stage of Chubut to get near the border with Santa Cruz in Comodoro Rivadavia. Dieguito will spend his birthday in Santa Cruz and Chubut touches me within 2 days between penguins, sea lions and dolphins, not a very original birthday.
Until the next, we continue touring Argentina and remàndola day after day.
Greetings.

WIDE LEG DOING THE UNION BEACH WINDS.

IMAGES OF THE NEW GULF OUT.

road to Punta Nymphs.

These grasses live underwater tide after tide.

draws water in sedimentary rocks.
Gypsy Nymphs from the sea lion.
We
Union Beach, we had to do in 4 days we did in 8, so eh. Even a beach called Lower bones came all well and suddenly the weather change and we ate 5 days of wind and rain.
(an angry sea kayaker)
traetormentas came, the enemy of God kayakers.
(kills time wig to Low bone)
Boredom broke down and decided to set sail early in the morning to arrive or reach, were just 25 km was one of the quietest day and blew just 32 km / h which is a lot to navigate just a place where the sea floor depth and summer surfing. To imagine the waves that were in the sea, an invitation to hell, we were stopped rowing at the site 30 minutes enduring the blows of the water. Some had to change course and confront them head to not end up upside down near the beach break.
(who enters this? Believe it or not has more than 2.5 meters high)
Now we get around here a picture of orillazo that formed on the beach to give you an idea the size of the waves when windy south. Imagine a whole wave breaking on the beach, there is no possibility to surf there, the only one left is to get behind the wave when it is already broke and avoid coming back.
Well, that was our sail to Union Beach and a demonstration of force is the changing wind and weather can be in these latitudes. I assure you that is desperate to be more than 3 days in the tent and see that things do not change.
I started to wonder if always the case, if you change if you are able to put out, but all that have to work hard with your head and think positive and go out and get muscle. We did and went well.
Now come beautiful beaches, many coves and sheltered places, going to Bay Shrimp and over half of the province of Chubut and continue then to Comodoro Rivadavia. I do not think we have media for a few days, more or less about 20.
The good news of this post is that GPS Madryn appeared after talking on the radio LU17. He bought a person who contacted the radio and just our mother who was visiting Madryn could recover. Listen to this, when my old back to where he found the thief was staying in the house again. My youngest brother who was present hit a punch in the face of this bloody but ran and escaped by jumping walls and ceilings. Luckily it was just did not have time. Thanks to the old (Liliana), my brother and Eloisa mole who lent us to continue its GPS navigation. If anyone is interested in buying a new GPS I tell them that we have a GARMIN 76 CSX closed box is a floating model with a color screen. Anything we send an email, the unit is in Buenos Aires.
Gulf The second half again we enjoyed a bit more without having to think about breaches keeps faunas and absurd. Hays not been able to find the Orcas in nymphs but we have the experience of Punta Norte and our morning meeting. On leaving the Gulf the water gets cloudy again and paddle in the presence of large sea waves. Back from the cliff edge become nymphs and water reaches the base of them. There are departures every so often but the seals are experts and monopolize these places to make sure we all seek the same thing, a guard away from the high tide.
(Cormorants in Punta León)
If you sail a long time will get to Punta Leon and very careful here because they are all nesting cormorants and not have to bother. It is a very large colony of imperial cormorants.
(The Biguá with their breeding plumage)
(The colony viewed from above)
The pebble beach is quite large, there is plenty of room for kayakers and poultry without interaction. Anyway, the bugs are on their own and do not give or ball. In the morning, leaving everyone to eat and is a sea of \u200b\u200bCormorants, is amazing to see.
has not spent a lot more, we see whales every now and then appearing from nowhere, beat a grunt, dive and disappear. The giant petrel and is definitely our ally, is always with us following our Asiak petrels.
(The Trango suffers from salt water and sand, but resists)
Speaking a little about the equipment I can tell you in a long journey all suffered damage. Dry suits have been drilled, Gore Tex fabric was not designed for so many days without cleaning salt water with fresh water. The latex neck and are repaired. The heater we have changed all the O-rings or rubber gaskets and remains firm on the ball. The carp rods are made of aluminum did not withstand corrosion and are breaking slowly. The kayaks also have its own. But hey, we repaired everything and we know the coast forward step Argentina.
I make this special request to all who know the places where we are going to happen. Avoid saying things like, for that's impossible to pass, the wind there is going to burst, the water will kill you and cut your skin, eat crabs and bodies will not float, can not this and that .... Just the vibe old! So thank you to all kayakers who are calling us and tell us their experiences. Know something, ALL kayakers in Argentina and every day we are more fortunate.


Until the next. Thanks for reading our diary. Special thanks

of this phase. To our mothers for logistical support in Madryn, excellent! To our brother, the bullet that would slowly be encouraging to join the next trip. In our Uncle Fernando by the new GPS decided to buy to sail more safely.
A Eloisa, Sandro, Santiago and Ale for joining Madryn output.
A Alexander, a great friend with whom we paddle near future for Patagonia. Thanks for the prawns and cook! And all the people who follow us and accompanies us step by step. There are already several kayakers who call us and put us into the wind.
Adriana, thanks for your chocolates!
