MONTE LEON AND OTHER IMAGES OF THE STAGE.

Entering Monte Leon.
Cliffs, a characteristic formation of the entire area.
in Monte León Quiet beaches at high tide. If it falls, the shoals outcrop.
The sea allowed us to enjoy the National Park.
very high where you can go when the tide is up.
The formation of the puma has a sea lion lying at the tip.
... .. and cormorants and terns ..
The arc of cormorants, nest inside the black-necked cormorants, gray and imperial.

Low Tide, endless beaches where you can download a Boeing 747.
Awaiting the arrival of the water.
Camp Coig in the estuary, a very nice place to paddle.
Storms whiz.
The lighthouse twisted.
wig talking by radio with the PNA.
PTO SANTA CRUZ - RIO GALLEGOS Good
all the faithful followers, we fly to Rio Gallegos and Petrels. The weather has improved with the arrival of summer and we finally live a week of pure sun and north wind. We put foot because we want to grasp this apparent climatic stability for crossing the Straits of Magellan.

Stage Puerto Santa Cruz - Gallegos is worth doing with time since the route passes through the Parque Nacional Monte León and the scenery is stunning. Our passing by Puerto Santa Cruz has made new friends and contacts. 
Keel 
The task we stayed in luxury and the head of the PNA Prefect German Gonzalez gave us a huge hand with the logistics to get from here to there in search of food, items to repair the hulls of kayaks and even a note on the radio and local cable channel. We passed the yacht to say hello and we became a keel to enjoy a sea bass (a fish).
At the end of the current river runs fast and immediately get into the park. The formations are cliffs with arches, caves, rock pop, shoals and boulder beaches. It seems more of the same but there are rather high hills with gullies and cracks that reach the sea. Monte Leon was very good and very strange things happened. Come up with a story of something that can happen once in a million. Paddling quiet with little wind and the sea without waves surrounded by thousands of terns and cormorants flew uncontrolled for all parties. Suddenly we heard a heavy blow in the air and looking up plummeting see two giant petrels. The types collided at high speed, one strikes the other in the side causing a broken wing. The scene was sad and a petrel is sentenced to die. A bird that lives day by day and plan to nest more than 400 km without a wing? I'll surely die of hunger. There was nothing to do, the faunas were far to take it to the base. The animal swam away and we saw no more. We were thinking the whole day at the odds of this happening there and very few. The day ended uneventfully, took advantage of the lull to get into caves and pass through the famous arch of cormorants.
The following days were similar, large gullies with tickets, good weather and the longest beaches in the whole trip. We come from a record after another. Now the range of tide makes the water go a mile inside. Taking advantage of the falling tide is going fast, you can take a break and wait for the water to go back and pull up to shore.

The patience that we have won hoping the tide is infinite. The last time it was little steps forward to hour after hour, in total about 4, to finally be 70 meters from our campsite.
(In the middle of the steppe appear fresh water springs and create landscapes that resemble green oasis on the beach, like the one below.)

I still amazing the amount of dolphins and porpoises that are in the area. One day we paddled with 7 southern dolphins alongside the kayaks for 10 miles. Another point to remember. I think when I go back to Tigre to buy a inflatable dolphins and I will lead shot for the Lujan river, so as not to miss them.
This stage and stage Caleta - Bahia Laura are the best of Santa Cruz. Landscapes are not repeated. The ports that we have met are full of history. We past the place where the great navigators of the world's history, Elcano, Drake, Magellan, Fitz Roy, Piedra, Cavendish and others.

So every day we were moving up to be 800 km from our goal. What is missing is going to be very intense. Tierra del Fuego, here we go!
We are 4 days sailing from Santa Cruz to get to Punta Dungeness and pull the crossing.

We are now in the family of Joseph Jaramillo and staying at home. Gallegos's friends escorted us at the entrance to the estuary as well as the prefecture. We thank everyone for the welcome and fellowship. 
The Assoc I Yenu Jono makes a very good job with the guys from Gallegos. The work is a lung with a strong social commitment. Children learn kayaking in a safe and familiar. It is a foundation seeds Knowing our house that will germinate slowly. If they pass do not forget to visit here. Nautical
Gallegos thank for offering their facilities for lodging.
