Day 7 – Friday 27 January.

7.24 am: We are leaving Buen Suceso at high water. We hope to reach the south west corner and edge round into the Beagle Channel if it is not too windy.

3.05 pm: We have seen hundreds of albatros along this stunning mountainous coast. A strong north westerly wind has made heading west hard work so we have stopped in a pretty bay. We may paddle again later if the wind drops.

7.13 pm: Still at position 54.56.69.W65.35.9. You know the wind hasn’t dropped enough to paddle when the pan lid keeps blowing off! – plus it’s very gusty. We have seen lots of guanaco. There is a 10 mile bay to cross when we get back on the water.
