Andes to Ocean




After hanging out in Futa for another few weeks I finally got back to being active.... the small issue of a dislocated shoulder put my kayaking practice on the back burner for a little while!!!

These photos are from a 5 day sea-kayaking trip I took with some clients, a friend from Futa (Anni) and our guide and friend Brian. The trip began at the base of the Futaleufu River (yaaa current) then into Lake Yelcho, followed by another river (yaaaa current again) and finally ending in the Pacific Ocean near a small town called Chaiten.

The weather on the first day was absolutely terrible, cold and rainy but luckily with a tail-wind. But after that it was nothing but smooth sailing and gorgeous scenery and we maintained the tail-wind the entire trip so the paddling part wasn´t too gruesome! (my shoulder survived.) :)
