Now we are in Puerto Montti, Chile

20 dec Sunday Day 32

After a long approach that began last night we are finally moored at the dock.
The approach, which had to take place at the right tide gave us a solid start
ride, then we ran the engine all night. It was about 55 NM.
Such a long journey we have made, both by boat and with ourselves. We had
both believed that this stage would be completely different. Had expected a lot of wind the whole time, perhaps several days in a row with 200 NM distance, steady wind from a
constant direction. The whole thing has been the opposite, weak winds, shifting
all the time. Becalmed periods. This has been trying for our patience, we have
simply had to get to know another side of ourselves, patience. I
can say that it has not succeeded every day.
Overall, however, we have had some fantastic days and experiences,
dolphins, elections, albatrosssen who joined us many days.
Many books, we have plowed, and good food we have eaten every day.
Yippeeee this feels good!
