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.)

(Wig escort Austral dolphin)

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.

seems that the Gypsy is improving and we sum in Rio Grande to face together the last stage. Still missing but good news that brings the north wind.
And it's all for now. Always add some photos that I remember most overlooked.
The great news is that we guys .. jaj that good! congratulations to my sister and the little Philip Matthias.
A big salute to all the kayakers that come along, happy holidays because we will not until after 25. We will provide the boating from southern Argentina.

A DRAWN WITH THE WIND. NOS


(Night agitated at San Julian. It required a bit of noise. The Pictured are the friends of Nautical The boys Delfín.Gracias for lamb!)

(Night quiet in San Julián with friends and family of Don Vittorio)

(Starting at this stage to Puerto Santa Cruz)
How are friends? We are ready for a new stage, ready for the lonely coast of Santa Cruz to Rio Gallegos. I can not thank you all for the messages relating to the accident Diego, thank you very much everybody. Message for friend Javier Saez, the complete history of Peninsula Valdes is ready to report in detail. In a couple of months we will have how we live this incredible road "ghost."
Well, we lived in San Julian hectic days with the best wave of the friends of Nautical Dolphin. The first band behaved as well as our friend Anita that we bank at home and friends Pasta House Don Vittorio who were responsible for our healthy diet. Although the incident had a great time.

(The outputs of the cliff, they hide beneath the levees)

We started a new phase with a Nano, once more being two on the road and in ancient times above. The Gypsy is now in recovery and hope to stage it for Rio Grande - Ushuaia. In the middle we have some challenges, reach Gallegos is one of the worst weather of the trip these days and just across the Strait of Magellan by the eastern side, about 34 km dale dale without looking to the side. Meanwhile we are moving forward step by step pace.

On the way to Santa Cruz San Julian appeared rarest levees throughout the journey. Are extensive, and miles and miles out to sea about 1000 meters. This means that we have to work very well with the tides.

(The Natural Mystic stranded on the sandbar. We had to walk a few hundred meters)

(The balcony, the giant sandbar Santa Cruz)

(Leaving at 5 in the morning to avoid the wind)

not ask me how, but we get serious and put together a strategic plan to avoid shoals. We had to do because the first day haul of 300 meters to both kayakers injured, inflamed tendons to load too much weight. Reviewing letter, tide tables, forecast and praying to the gods we move towards Puerto Punta Quilla. I make a brief chronicle of the tie between kayakers and wind, a new battle of trench warfare as we call it.

(18 km of cliffs with no exits)

Day 1 of 6. We went running for San Julian and little wind to move it meet the high restinga and slowing before the cliffs, 18 miles end. These are places where you have to catch the wind. If he pulls back there to return to the starting point.

(Towards the battle into the wind .....)

(The smallest lighthouse Argentina)
Day 2. Miraculously, the wind is going to put out promptly at 5 o'clock in the morning we do 30 miles. At 10 am the battle began, wind at 60 km per hour and jump into the trench. We left the sea as we could and take refuge behind a bush. We spent the cliffs!

(refugees after the killing, the background wind!)
Day 3. Lost day, the wind blows at 60 all day.

Day 4. Again at 5 am but the wind got up early and began the tug of war club and stick. After reconciling, and after we left the sea 24 km almost defeated.

Day 5. The Patagonian miracle, no wind, the sea Ironing advantage we gain low miles. Some wind rose and we stopped the levee. We stopped to repair the Nano kayak keel was worn by the drag and it started to rise slows to zero wind and the temperature was 23 degrees. We charred, almost shot me to swim with the dolphins that are swimming everywhere alongside ours.

(Sky or sea?)
Day 6. We crossed to Punta Quilla, we left the boat in the prefecture and stayed there in the detachment where we attended to first. Shower and nap. Started to get everything ready to leave for Gallegos.

We are now in Puerto Santa Cruz where we received the local prefecture, went to the radio and cable to present ourselves in society.
The landscape up here is not the best. Of the 160 kilometers coastal formations there are very few eye-catching. The cliffs and ravines are always something impressive and generate a moment of tension. Especially when you see the gray clouds come and the wind speeds could not predict how far it will go. Sometimes mild traetormentas sometimes riding and trampling mercilessly. Somehow I can say I'll miss the wind that sometimes agrees with the sea and landscapes show you wild with giant waves foam flying in all directions. It's a simple show of force that lets you clear the boss.

(If the day is over .... it is bright orange wind the next day and never fails.)

oriented to the south We went west to the estuary Coig where the road becomes to the southeast and no change to Cabo Virgenes. That's good because the prevailing westerly winds and we would cross through tail. The challenge is to Coig in three days with good weather.

(Many guanacos on the way)

For the first time we make the dolphins swim alongside our kayaks. It's amazing how many dolphins and porpoises that are in the levees and the rivers.
I have no more to tell, now comes the Monte Leon National Park we will present new and better scenery.

(Arrival at the deepwater port of Punta Quilla)

thank Prefecture Puerto Santa Cruz for logistical support. Rio Gallegos, I hope we see us again in a week as we enter the waters of your laugh. Leonardo Gonzalez's friend, thanks for being in contact and support. Thank you all. Greetings to my sister
Inès is already very nearly Pablito mother and taking over the repair of our camera. Liliana Ines, thanks to you.
Gypsy, Get well and do not hang ... We expect big ripples in Cabo San Diego! uaaahhhhhh!
take this opportunity to tell you, in our passage through Tierra del Fuego we will meet with Marcus Wruszek Demuth and Biff, two kayakers United States will turn over the big island of Tierra del Fuego for the first time. And come out of Ushuaia to Ushuaia. Here is the link the blog to know them. Http://tierradelfuego2010.blogspot.com/
Marcus Demuth was the first kayaker to go around the Falkland Islands alone (including cruises), a capo crazy.

And greetings to all kayakers, paddling out !!!!!!! See ya.

REALITY STRIKES IN OUR ATTEMPT TO ARGENTINA TO JOIN THE REMO. A SAN JULIAN

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.
