Rough Sailing
Today, we have had tough sailing. We've had the wind from the back, so far so good.
We started the day with the big jib, now as I write this, we
arrive at today's anchorage in about an hour, we have five yards rolled out on the little jib. The
has been getting up quite thoroughly for a while, the kind of tough sailing which the one
minute is breathtaking fun when you see the speed increase and increase, the next moment
the fall winds come roaring down to make you believe the jib will burst in two
and rip away the entire rig. Now we begin to understand what
the old foxes in Puerto Montt were talking about, concerning sailing in the
southernmost end of Patagonia. ...
Tomorrow we hope to reach the Magellan.
