Day 36, Day 11 from Punta Arenas – Saturday 25 February.

5.56am: Up in the dark this morning so that we can hopefully kayak through the narrow gap and avoid carrying the boats. However . . .

4.21pm S54.49.5 W71.09.5: We had to portage 100 metres! It was a great day, crossing between lots of islands in the swell. We took the outside route as there was almost no wind, except for a slight easterly headwind in the afternoon. Where is the tailwind??After 25 nautical miles we found a bouldery beach on Isla Stuart to set up camp. We saw an otter, the sun is out and all is good.
