Lat S 19 08°/ long W 138 07°

November 24 Day 6
We had a printing error for yesterday's longitude,
I hope it is corrected now.

One month to go until Christmas Eve. This year, I think it's very nice to
avoid Christmas decorations, Santas, tinsel and trees. Remembering the date
for ordering the best Christmas ham in the Market Hall, just to
to stand in a huge queue to get the ham the last days before Christmas. Christmas gifts
are fun to get and give, but it also takes a lot of time to get together.
Everybody at home already has everything and it often feels like a luxury problem. This year
our Christmas present to ourselves is this adventure. If our planning fits
and the wind allows, we will enter Puerto Montti in time before
Christmas Eve, and then we have two new guests on board, that is this year's Christmas present.
I've started reading the pilot book over the Patagonian channels which have
their northern limit at P. Montti and then extend down
to Cape Horn. It feels like it will be a fantastic
experience of nature, desolate and grand, to sail there.
