Cold, grey start, sunshine to finish
Day 12 – Wednesday 1 February.
4.13 am: It is cold, grey and overcast this morning but not too windy yet. We hope to be on the water by five o’clock, at first light.
1.57 pm: 54.51.94 W67.31.7. A tiring day for us. We paddled for seven and a half hours covering 23 nautical miles into winds from force 2 in the first two hours increasing to force 7 by the end. 12 days paddling = sore muscles but it is sunny and warm now and we are pleasantly tired and happy.
We have our sights set on Ushuaia and might make it in 2 days if the wind is on our side.
Hi Barry and Justine,
This is the first time I’ve checked in since before you set off. Sounds like you’re making really steady progress and enjoying some brilliant wildlife and scenery. I hope the weather remains favorable and you continue to make your way around without too much difficulty. Can’t wait to hear what’s around the next turn. Enjoy!
