Lat S 35 36°/ long W 99 16°

December 10 Thursday Day 22
Three weeks at sea, one week left? Yes it depends on the wind. The 24 hours that went have been okay again with good speed and wind direction. We have now
sailed 3195 NM and have 1301 to go to Puerto Montti.
(San Diego - Marquesas was 2800 NM)
I read the pilot book how to make the inwards clearance, it's the "Armada" in
charge of formalities there. Armada I understand is the country's sea-going
military. We must also seek permission (zarpe) to sail in
their channels and archipelagos. It is an advantage to have all the papers ready
upon arrival. Once there, you must report daily where you are
and where you are going. There cannot be many to keep track of, or
I think they would give up the system. I'm glad we do not have this
in Sweden, imagine a summer day, keeping track of all amateurs sailing. Puuh
