As a side trip, Antoine packrafted in the fjord Pitipalena up to Rodrigo's house. Rodrigo is a lovely man, he offered me a tea and I really enjoyed talking with him. He showed me pics he took of the wild animals of the park. I wish I had more time there.
About 2-3h with rising tide and relaxed pace, barely no wind (southern wind and waves appeared in the last 3km). Did not follow the coast in the bay but went along 2 islands in a straight line (with a lunch break on one). Came back the same wave, quite some headwind (I narrowly followed the shore for shelter), which reduced after 2-3km, and the falling tide made it rather easily and enjoyable. Down to the Pacific Ocean and the lovely popular beach, insane sunset over the fjords.

Water level normal to high, as some sandbanks were not visible. I had a headwind of approx. 15-20 km/h.
After 30 km, you usually have to paddle yourself, which is not so much fun.
- 1st rapid no problem
- 2nd rapid I didn't register. It was probably not a problem
As the headwind from Ferry to Bridge (Canal Garrao) was strong, I carried the boat.
After Bridge, Camp {28P} [67.8/16] (Canal Garrao), there is no possibility to camp until the fjord. I camped here at -43.799596, -72.927780, which I had checked very carefully (low tide, high tide, water marks from the previous day). However, I
would not officially recommend Jan, because at high tide the water reaches just short of the tent.
In the fjord, there was a tailwind (from the east) early in the morning (8:00).
