Lat S 52 00 / long W 073 43

Puerto Prefundo, windbound.

Now we have sailed in gale winds for several days, okay so long as it is
NW-ly. But already last night when the barometer fell to bottom level and I
took home the weather files, we knew that we would remain here for one more night;

EVANGELISTAS TO LAT 56 DGS SOUTH: OVC VIS 4/10 KMS RAIN/SHOWERS
WIND N/NW 25/35 KT SHIFTING AND INCREASING SW/S 35/45 KT (GALE),GUSTY 90
KT SEA STATE 5.0/8.0 MTS INNER WATER SLIGHT TO MODERATE.

We are only 15 NM from the Estrecho de Magellan, and once we are there
SW or NW doesn't matter. But today, we used the day at anchor
for various projects: airing, cleaning, patching and mending.
