Add a new log entry always on top in the appropriate season sub-chapter and use format:

* Start Date to Finish Date (use Format YYYY-MMM-DD) / Duration in Days / Hiking or Packrafting / Travel Direction (SOBO for Southbound or NOBO Northbound) / Chosen Route and/or Option Name (RR for Regular Route) / Names or Alias

Summary with remarks to route that are considered useful for other hikers and packrafters. Include alerts, suggestions and personal perception of attractiveness and difficulties.

  • 2022-Jan-16 to 2022-Jan-18 / 2,5 days / Packrafting / SoBo / GPT 73P Lago Yelcho / Tobias Schorcht

While crossing Lago Yelcho I had to think about Jan's words, who characterized the lake as a "Beast", many times! The direction of the wind changed within seconds and forecasts were wrong many times. Got stuck on the peninsula right in the middle of the Lake (emergency Camp) for 1 day. For 1 small freestanding tent the camp is fine, if you have a bigger tent, the night will be uncomfortable. The 2 other camps are just amazing!! I also recommend to visit the 30m waterfall (not on the route) -43,26788, -72,28440.

  • 2017-Dec / GPT73P Lago Yelcho / Eastbound

We traversed the lake a week ago in two days in south-east direction. Due to predominant wind this is the only feasible direction. Very challenging due to wind and limited exit options on the last 17 to 20 km. Only feasible on low wind days in the morning hours (therefore best split in two days). Sail recommended to speed up when wind increases.
