On the way to Puerto Edén.
Yesterday we anchored in Caleta Connor. There is a special tree that many
long-distance sailors put their name boards up in. After our perilous stretch of gale
with subsequent intense rain all day, we had no more energy last night than
to eat, and try to get us and the clothes dry. But in the morning we made
a name board with name and year. The lack of time and paint, we carved
the name in a plank from an old banana box that we found as
driftwood. We filled the grooves with nail varnish. We got a bit of a kindergarten
feeling about it before we came to the tree. There wew discovered that our name board
was in good company. In comparison with the other creations the kindergarten feel
was quite appropriate.
One that, unfortunately, has succumbed to the challenges of time and weather
was Yaghan's etched brass plate, which was completely gray-green with verdigris.
