Over Navigation 7 months we found the sea in difficult conditions, tidal waves, physical exhaustion, limiting our strength to overcome tidal currents and winds, conditions that have made us open our eyes and understand that we are not machines and can complicate things suddenly and without warning. It's a long journey and we are also exposed to many things that make daily life. Accidents happen and that our journey has not been an exception. Remember that I almost break shoulder in a wave just spent Mar del plata? Now the bad luck, bad luck, has beaten Dieguito Lamas. The kayaker has faced in the water many things that have no idea yet when on the ground here in San Julián an unfortunate blow has resulted in two broken ribs.
(The bow fucking and good humor that reigns at the club the Dolphin, but never thought it would be so serious)
To make it short and without much discussion, a soccer goal fell on him pretty heavy. We have to thank all the guys at Dolphin Boat, our friend Anita Guzmán, Adrian, Miriam and the staff of the hospital of St. Julian all they are giving us their continued support and help us get through this bad shot.
The journey will continue in a couple of days when Diego is discharged. Unfortunately we have a long period of rest away from the kayak. Wig and I will move to Puerto Santa Cruz and then to Gallegos attentive to the news we have about Dieguito and recovery. We look forward to the Gypsy as soon as possible as the effort we have made all three to be on this trip can not be explained and would be really sad not to have our brother kayaker for the closure of this long history. We left three of the Quiaca and get three to Ushuaia. The Roma remain in San Julián in the care of Anita and friends of nautical your boat too, eager to get back safely navigate the waters of the Atlantic. If they want to send messages or call his cell phone. Not much to tell, the weather is horrible today hail and then the sun came out, then blew steadily and so every day. All very irregular for the time. According windguru come a few days of calm that we will take to move forward and as always facing the wind. We are about 600 km from Santa Cruz with more pictures and stories. We are a little misplaced
all this and what it means to have to get used to navigate Diego, an excellent companion and our great cook! Force friend!
Thanks to all for their messages. Greetings and see you soon.
