navigation Completed come the days of the workshops and presentations.
This year the speakers would be responsible for showing in detail how to handle a GPS (Xavi Kirchner), to test our skills in a kayak agility test (Javier Knorr), to show us a bit of the beauty of Tierra del Fuego (Paul Kommer) and to prove to everyone that today is up to us different sports practice even when we have a disability (Antonio de Diego).
Of course, these days have time to do a little of everything! Paul for example, might try the "Clockwork Orange")
Apparently
and what I said, I went to sea as well with this kayak:) I hope soon to have one! ;)
the first day of this stage of the conference, is dedicated to the practice of various techniques: Support, rescues, Eskimo ... Javier Knorr took the lead on this day:)
Here a picture of Mariona and the group in general ...
At the end of the session, were watching the waves, some could not resist and we are left to surf a little. Roberto was the case, Quim and mine.
us entertained while we're late to the meal. In Can Bernat of course! :)
In the food had something to celebrate involving one of the speakers. Xavier Kirchner had a birthday!
The cake, of necessity, had to take a kayak! :) That fits pretty orange color:)
In this same food reappeared the desire that the group had to do me a hair implant ....
This is a photo of before:)
And this ... of later! The spirit of Jimmy Hendrix took me at times! ;)
I must say that this change my alopecia hair for anything in the world! It's a hassle to carry so much hair, once accustomed to mosquitoes without brake slip polished my head:)
The next day was going to be very different depending on who ...
For the group, the day would be full of evidence of "agility" proposed Javier Knorr. Here's an enlightening video of those tests ...
For Andrew and me, tourist visit to the hospital in Mahon. Andrew did not improve enough in just browsing. Had to do a thorough review. In the hospital we were all morning and much of the afternoon. Andrew did a very good side in this situation;)
nights we spent at the conference. This year the two they had were in Es Mercadal. Few pictures I have of this time. Here a snapshot of where we can see Roberto, Andrew, Carl and Paul Kommer.
In his lecture we saw a video with historical footage of Raid Yacht Tierra del Fuego. This year, in early November, reaching its 20th edition! You can see details on website Raid Tierra del Fuego Nautical and blog Raid .
then a snapshot of the two keynote speakers of the conference: Paul Kommer and Antonio de Diego, just before it started its conference last ...
The same day was the drawing for a kayak Wilderness Tempest 165. Is the graceful? The Kirchner Xavi lucky!
From early morning to heavy rain accompanied us in Es Grau Mahon. This beautiful photo of Andrew Koch gives proof of this ...
With that, some chose to go to the other end of the island to do some sightseeing. Get escape the rain:) and we enjoyed the visit to Ciutadella and from the southern beaches of the island and Macarelleta Macarella ...
last day arrives. We expected a walk in the natural port of Mahon. A trip that also met a number of Minorcan who did not participate in the conference. This was the case with Oswaldo and Fina ...
Indeed! They carry a fantastic model Sipre Ocean. A very seaworthy double kayak.
In this tour through the port Quim could try the "Clockwork Orange." At that moment I could not imagine that a few days later embark on her to accompany Carles, Sarah Outen and Justine Curgenven in crossing the canal de Menorca, Son Xoriguer departing from and arriving at Cala Mesquida Mallorca after nine hours of paddling ... intense at times. Quim Bravo! :)
The days come to an end. This year we have been forty participants .... Andrés
these days and telling me that the lobby Buenos Aires, Patagonia grow in number next year. Dani keeps saying it again next year ...
We'll see. Sure.
Here I post the latest photographic sequence of these days ...
photos and videos, as always, courtesy of Carro Fede, Andrew Koch, Ignacio Fernández, Ramón Lorca, Manuel Marti and myself!
I have wanted to return to the sea for a few days ...
And it will be! :) In a couple of days comment on details of my next trip;)
A hug to everyone!
