The Tipping Point
Kitesurf UK • May 2015 • By Gavin McClurg5,000 MILES. 28 DAYS AT SEA. 3 DAYS WITH VISIBLE SUN. Water temperatures down to 6 degrees Celsius. Not a single sighting of another boat. Not a single fish caught. But at the end of it all stretched the ultimate prize: 1,000 miles of uninhabited, untouched islands. Patagonia. Where God possibly imbibed some supernatural LSD and applied his water colours by hand instead of brush.
