Lat S 52 57°/ long W 073 50,3°

Estrecho de Magellanes
Here we are, the wind blowing hard as usual. Magellan, the strait, which makes
it possible to
to round South America without having to round Cape Horn . We will
sail as far as where it begins to turn to the north to Punta Arenas. There
we will instead go further south through some other channels to enter the
Beagle Channel. That is where you find Puerto Williams, Chile's southernmost city, where
we are clearing out. Then we go to Ushuaia 25 NM away, clearing in
to Argentina. We leave off rounding the Horn, this time. Our taste
for adventure is satisfied just by sailing here.
We are now leaving Patagonia, reaching Tierra del Fuego,
the Land of Fire.
