Alejandro Nestor Caparrós, artist (& head park ranger at Parque Nacional Los Glaciares), burnishes a wood-carved map with pyrography tools in his home workshop.  Caparrós hand-crafts much of the signage in the park.

In this image he is wearing a very old, much loved, Patagonia, Inc. jacket that Thomas Ulrich gave him. Caparrós says that it's a very special piece because Ulrich wore it during the first winter ascent of Cerro Torre's West Face in 1999.

A big thanks to Cameron Tambakis (Photo Editor) and the rest of the Patagonia, Inc. Photo Department for keeping us afloat while we are "shipwrecked" here in Chile!

Great memories of our kids zooming fast on wheels in the southern hemisphere city of sails.  These two wild ones terrorized all the pedestrians along the waterfront by racing each other on all the ramps they could find (including the steep three story one along the Events Center building).

Both scooters made it to the bottom of the harbour countless times during Tormentina & Raivo's on-the-docks antics.  Thanks to the Viaduct Marina for being so cool with us and to Jeri Bakker & the crew of SY Zefiro, Dan Thielmann & Chris Sadler for putting on the dive gear to retrieve the sunken treasures.

dock life

No shower on board Anasazi Girl.  The weather has finally gotten good enough for a hose + buckets on the dock. It's pretty cool to think that Tormentina used to fit in these buckets. She's an incredible older sister, a huge help with Pearl.
