Si pentru ca tot am renuntat cu succes la calatoria in Chile, vom sarbatori prin munca (la padela) zece ani de la prima noastra iesire mai lunga intr-o canoe...
Ca intotdeauna perioada pregatirilor de plecare ofera bucurii intense si obstacole si dezamagiri pe masura. Doar ce am creionat lista de echipament pentru calatoria asta si, in ciuda faptului ca suntem nevoiti sa reprogramam iesirea intarziind-o, ca niciodata, cu inca vreo doua saptamani, m-a bufnit rasul... ca e doar o iesire cu o biata canoe, nu cu un trawler. Dar jucarelele se aduna...
Dar asa m-am invatat sa pregatesc o iesire in natura care la apogeul ei ne va situa la 5 zile de padelat de contactul cu civilizatia. Adica intram in balarii si ne tot indepartam de civilizatie timp de 5 zile dupa care ne apropiem de alt punct de contact cu civilizatia dupa alte 5 zile. Marja de siguranta/independenta in balarii va fi de 12 zile.
Cei care iubiti echipamente si jucarelele va veti amuza. Ceilalti probabil ca, pe buna dreptate, va veti plictisi si nu veti parcurge lista pana la capat. Probabil ca unii dintre voi veti recunoaste multe componente din propriile liste si ma astept sa exite si componente pe care noi nu le avem pe lista.

Ma opresc din scris ferm convins ca am omis ceva, dar inca nu-mi dau seama ce...
Evident, urmeaza si ajustarile din mers.
LE: Daca toate se leaga conform planului, am inclus si o (inevitabila) scurta descindere in mereu adorabilul Key West...
