9 February 53.35.92, 67.58.48
With 35 nautical miles under our belts we are tired, in a good way, and feeling happy.
We passed penguins at the end of the long spit and met Monica on the beach when we landed. We had to carry the kayaks a long way to get there!
Tomorrow we’ll make for Rio Grande, a place we know quite well!

We paddled for six hours and Barry had no problem with the wrist today, so we are hopeful for the rest of the trip. It was a good day and we covered 27 nautical miles.
A gusty wind helped us until we reached the low spit where it was offshore and hard work.
We had dolphins for company then stopped in a small dip for shelter, taking in lunch at the Total Oil plant
We have come ashore in a desolate spot and it is cool.

We had a good evening yesterday, staying at the Armada house. We carried a stranded dolphin back to the sea and ate lamb caught by the men.
Onto the water at high tide now – it’s a bit windy but we have some shelter. Watch our progress live on the map.

Barry and I driving north today back to the border between Chile and Argentina where we stopped kayaking. We will have our kit inspected today and will start kayaking when the weather allows. that might be Wednesday as it is due to be windy until then, but you never know round here!

Barry had a test paddle yesterday for about an hour and felt good to be back in the boat, so we are optimistic about the trip.

Daily updates will be published here on the blog, just underneath the map of our progress. Our position on the map should be updated every hour or so as we paddle so it´s possible to follow our progress if you want to.
