Well Uganda was sweet. Lots of good people, waves, and overall experiences. I have had about a month back in the states and in two weeks time I'll be in Chile. I should be meeting up with a fellow paddling buddy, Will Hartmen, who was one of the six in the Uganda group. We have some idea what we want to do while there.
Landing in Santiago, the capital, we plan on heading to Futalafu. The "Futa", offers a wide range of class 2-4 river running style rapids. It is the most notable of rivers in Chile and will be dammed within eight years. While there we are hoping to find some creeks as well. We anticipate this will take us a little north to Pucan. Either way, I'm sure we'll fall in with some chill and informed local paddlers who will offer some great experiences.
On another note, I plan on being a little more disciplined with blogging in Chile than I was in Uganda. Infrastructure and web access should be more available, also I'm fulfilling my internship within this trip. The internship requires I find a computer once a week to write and send a weekly paper to my adviser. So those, if any who pay attention to this blog, the blog will be a little more active and up to date on this trip. And of course, I promise more and better quality pictures. I plan on really focusing on my photography as well as kayaking this trip. I'll be working on different styles and compositions.
Hope you enjoy the postings, and thanks for all comments and followings. It is appreciated. Check out the love it live it, Riot kayaks, and WRSI blogs as well for more info.
