IMAGES OF THE NEW GULF OUT.

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.

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 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!
