As I write my first blog of this year, I sit out beside the silty waters of the Miapo near Santiago, Chile. A warm, dry breeze sweeps around this valley all summer long. The snowpack was good in the Andes Mountains this spring and that makes for a lot of great paddling opportunities awaiting us throughout this entire country. In the ten weeks I will be spending here I am excited to travel through nearly the entire length of the the country. I am also excited to take part in the Gap Year program which has just recently been developed.
