Day 27, Day 2 from Punta Arenas – Thursday 16 Februrary.

6.45am: The nights are getting colder! The wind dropped totally in the night and we shall be on the water about 8.00am.

7.36pm, 3.53.54 W70.54.42 : A long day today with an unforecast south easterly wind blowing for the six mile crossing to Isla Dawson and then a strong headwind making us work hard. The plus side was gorgeous mountains and loads of penguins and albatros along the way. We headed for a campsite that had been recommended to us but it was too windy for us to reach it. We are camped next to a decrepid old house frame. Feeing tired but with a good fire going!

    Hi you two . Glad to hear that you’re making progress with the wind on your backs and that the weather is reasonable. I’m glad you’ve gone for the hopefully more enjoyable circumnavigation option . We’ve had some surprise early lambs arrive and so have had to do some rapid sheep shuffling…vaccinations tomorrow.
    Take care…have fun .
    Steve.
